Beginning this spring, nearly 45,000 team members at Hilton’s US-owned and managed properties and corporate locations will have debt-free access to an array of educational credentials. The new platform—launched in partnership with Guild Education—offers 70 academic programs from more than 20 learning providers, including high school completion, college degrees, English-language learning, digital literacy, and professional certifications in business, engineering, data analytics, hospitality management, and more. The new benefit builds on Hilton’s existing educational opportunities, including access to more than 25,000 online professional development courses. Click here to learn more.
Even as the pandemic continues to impact our economy and society, we are pleased to see Hilton remain committed to advancing the upskilling movement. We hope other businesses find innovative ways to promote upskilling during this difficult time.
