EdCast and edX Give 100,000+ Small Businesses Free Access to Upskilling and Reskilling Tools to Navigate Economic Volatility
Summary
This $315M initiative is made possible by EdCast’s SMB partners -- Adecco, the International Chamber of Commerce, and edX -- in an effort to help SMBs overcome challenges brought on by this year’s pandemic-related economic volatility. “Small and mid-sized businesses are struggling to adapt to the new normal, facing challenges that range from health and safety to financial to employee management,” said Karl Mehta, CEO and Founder of EdCast. Available online and as a mobile application, Spark can be accessed on all major digital platforms -- Google Search, O365, MS Teams, GSuite, FB Workplace, Salesforce -- and has been shown to drive a 20% increase in productivity. We are delighted to partner with EdCast to make ICC expertise even more accessible to SMEs at this crucial time, when most micro- and small enterprises do not have enough working capital to keep business going, yet alone invest in training that can help workforces survive and thrive.” edX is the trusted platform for education and learning. Supporting learners at every stage, whether entering the job market, changing fields, seeking a promotion or exploring new interests, edX delivers courses for curious minds on topics ranging from data and computer science to leadership and communications.
