Company Summary
Learning Network is a growing, innovative, and customer-centric educational technology company. We seek creative and tenacious individuals to help us drive success through service.
Service is very important to us. At Learning Network, you will be among people who care about their customers and colleagues. We prioritize service by ensuring the details are done and done well - every time. We make promises, and we keep those promises. We recognize that our customers and employees don’t have to choose us. As such, service is embedded deep within our culture - and providing white-glove service is an expectation of every employee.
At Learning Network, you’ll be a part of something special. You’ll sleep better knowing you make a difference by bringing the most innovative education to thousands of students. You’ll do this amongst a supportive community of people who care. In return, you’ll care. You’ll show you care by being teachable, doing your job well, and valuing the relationships with your colleagues. You’ll achieve your goals and play nicely in the sandbox with others while doing it. We don’t do drama, and neither should you.
Working at Learning Network isn’t for everyone. But for those who choose to commit to hard work, service, students, and colleagues, it’s an incredibly rewarding experience.
