Director of Content Development

ABOUT CORRELATION ONE

Correlation One is an education technology company whose mission is to create equal access to the jobs of tomorrow. 

We have developed a new model for education that eliminates traditional barriers to opportunity. We run training-to-jobs programs that are 100% free for learners, financed by enterprises that train or recruit program graduates. This model aligns incentives between the education provider, learner, and employer, where everyone wins when the learner, who is typically a working adult from an underrepresented background, gets hired.

Example programs include Data Science for All, a masters-level data science bootcamp for individuals from historically underrepresented groups, and Amazon Career Choice, an analytics training program for frontline warehouse workers.

Our model is not just more equitable, but it is also inherently more scalable than traditional education providers. Each program is taught by industry leaders, professors and teaching assistants, delivered virtually to cohort-based learning communities. We currently run programs for 5,000+ learners each year in 10+ countries, and we plan to grow 5-10x in the next two years.

Our clients include over 50 blue-chip companies, such as Amazon, Citadel, Accenture, Target, EY, BlackRock, and Johnson & Johnson. These organizations work with us to train their own employees, to recruit program graduates, and to proactively invest in talent from traditionally underrepresented communities.
