Honored by EdTech Breakthrough for outstanding innovation in educational technology
BOSTON – June 6, 2024 – Electives, the learning platform for HR and People teams, was named the “Professional Development Solution Provider of the Year” at the 6th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards. This prestigious award recognizes top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.
Building on the success of being named “Corporate Learning Solution of the Year” in 2023, Electives continues to excel in delivering high-quality live expert-led learning experiences. Designed to help People teams meet employee development demands, Electives empowers organizations to offer best-in-class live learning with minimal effort, ensuring continuous employee growth and engagement.
In 2023, Electives launched Electives Membership, expanding access to corporate training once again. Electives Membership offers fresh live classes every month, allowing employees to enroll in sessions aligned with their personal interests and career goals. This addition enhanced the flexibility and accessibility of offerings from Electives. Every employee has unique needs and desires when it comes to learning, and People teams struggle to match each employee with the quality learning they need. Electives Membership gives People teams confidence that their employees are getting personalized, high-quality and engaging training opportunities throughout the year.
The Electives instructor community is not your typical group of corporate trainers. Electives instructors include professors, C-suite executives, astronauts, Olympic athletes, comedians, poets, songwriters, historians, best-selling authors and storytelling experts skilled at engaging learners. After taking Electives classes, 89% of employees expect positive behavior changes. These changes include adjusting work routines, improving relationships, making better decisions and viewing themselves and others differently. This feedback, gathered immediately after classes, highlights the immediate impact and anticipated long-term benefits of the transformative learning experiences delivered by Electives.
“Electives is the optimum live learning solution for lean People teams frustrated with traditional corporate training,” said Steve Johansson, managing director of EdTech Breakthrough. “For years, corporations have dealt with massive unwieldy content libraries without considering learning quality or employee impact. Congratulations to Electives for offering everything growing people-first companies need. Companies of all sizes can now experience modern L&D without needing a bigger team. That makes Electives our choice for 2024 ‘Professional Development Solution Provider of the Year!’”
The EdTech Breakthrough Awards celebrate excellence and innovation in educational technology across various categories. This year’s program received thousands of nominations from over 17 countries.
