Together, they introduce career-centric programs tailored to high-demand fields, including AI, business analytics, cybersecurity, e-commerce, and supply chain management, designed with workplace skill needs in mind.


Nexford’s unique approach, merging real-world skills acquisition and project-based learning, aligned with critical workplace competencies, combined with Bisk Amplified’s robust student support and employer-focused benefits, creates a powerful solution for working professionals and organizations. Learners can access a wide array of in-demand programs while receiving unparalleled support to advance their careers. Employers can invest in their employees’ growth and build a more skilled, competitive workforce.


“Collaborating with Nexford University is a game-changer for workforce development,” said Bisk Amplified’s Senior Vice President of Workforce and Education Dr. Jennifer King. “Together, we’re offering a powerful path to career advancement by empowering organizations to build a future-ready workforce while providing individuals with the flexibility and support needed to succeed.”
