Electives is the first enterprise live learning platform connecting the world’s experts with people-centric companies to deliver unforgettable learning experiences.

January 12, 2022 – BOSTON – Electives, an enterprise live learning platform that makes it possible to create meaningful learning impact, more than doubled its library of live learning classes last year.

With more than 450 classes, the Electives library of live learning is designed to support teams that need training across a variety of essential business and diversity-focused topics. As a result of its library expansion, Electives is reducing the need to partner with hundreds of external disparate learning solutions or to build live learning content in house.

“The people ops and HR leaders we work with have shared how exhausting and time consuming it used to be to build, source and/or activate live learning experiences,” shared Jason Lavender, co-founder and CEO of Electives. “But not anymore. Working with Electives is reducing their administrative burden while providing confidence that they are choosing highly rated instructors and topics that their employees will benefit from.”

The Electives live learning platform is comprised of four synchronized parts:

  1. Extraordinary instructors delivering unforgettable experiences. Electives instructors are real people sharing real-life experiences as professors, FBI agents, psychologists, performers, athletes and more.
  2. Live learning designed to build memorable connections. Electives offers 450+ live classes on essential topics like leadership, new manager training, communication skills, DEI, innovation and more.
  3. Platform tools to eliminate the administrative burdens. The Electives live learning platform provides a single source for planning, curation, administration and measurement.
  4. Electives support to build confidence. Electives is technology-enabled, but people-focused, and with its partners every step of the way. Electives helps create learning strategies that meet unique objectives.

Categories in the Electives library include communication skills; diversity, equity and inclusion; innovation and new technology; leadership; life lessons; manager training and professional skills; personal development team and culture building; and wellbeing. Classes are offered as private Electives classes, through Electives Membership and within certificate programs.

“We prioritize learner engagement and impact across everything we do,” explained Lavender. “As a result, we’re helping companies save time and money previously wasted on low-engagement solutions or high-priced external solutions.”
