Our Approach

Design, develop, and deliver quality skills-based education and training as a service to colleges and universities.

SkillServe specializes in designing and delivering skills-based education and training programs for higher education institutions. We have over 20 years of experience working with leading universities such as George Mason University, Virginia Tech, Portland State University, Maryville University, Long Island University, Northern Virginia Community College and many others. SkillServe's partnership model with universities eliminates operational risks for the institution while empowering students with valuable skills that contribute to better job prospects, higher salary levels, and job security. This model reduces the upfront cost for higher education institutions significantly.

In any partnership, longevity and success depend on a symbiotic relationship that yields value for each partner. SkillServe's partnership approach creates good value for both, primarily because it has no competing interests in delivering programs directly in an open enrollment channel. SkillServe's primary Go-To-Market model is through partnerships with universities.
