Job Description

  • The Beyond Restart program is designed for adult learners who need a fresh start – whether that is returning to school (e.g., stranded credits, financing support, etc.), changing career paths, or repairing their credit profile to build a path towards financial solvency and growth through our economic mobility initiatives.
  • The Beyond Talk program is about activating the broader higher education ecosystem through our own research and collaborative efforts with our affiliated partners, engaging in relevant forums and conferences to increase visibility of our work and relevant partnerships, as well as advocating for applicable policy reforms aimed at increasing access and equity for all learners.
