University of Arkansas Grantham Partners with Leading Online Training Provider to Expand Workforce Training and Reskilling Opportunities in Arkansas
Partnership with ed2go highlights University of Grantham’s commitment to providing affordable online education that enable students to gain in-demand skills
Little Rock, Arkansas, March 13, 2025 – University of Arkansas Grantham today announced a new strategic partnership with ed2go, a leading provider of adult online education and part of Cengage Group, to expand online training opportunities across in-demand industries. University of Arkansas Grantham will offer hundreds of affordable online courses through the agreement.
Through this collaboration, learners can choose from self-paced or instructor-led courses in various in-demand fields. Courses range from basic personal and professional skills to advanced in-depth training programs that prepare learners for industry-standard certification, and include vouchers for certification exams administered through third-party testing facilities.
While ed2go courses offer a pathway to professional growth, they are not eligible for financial aid. However, their affordability and flexibility make them an accessible option for learners looking to gain new competencies or advance in their careers, and financing is available from ed2go partners.
“Our collaboration with ed2go underscores our commitment to providing flexible workforce development options that meet the evolving needs of today’s adult learners in Arkansas and everywhere,” said Lindsay Bridgeman, Chancellor of UA Grantham. “These courses are not only cutting edge; they offer practical training that complements our existing portfolio of academic degree programs, and provide valuable professional development opportunities. We see these courses as having particular relevance to our tens of thousands of graduates, who could use these courses as a way to break into new or adjacent professions, refresh their skill set, or gain new competencies.”
“Through this partnership with University of Arkansas Grantham, we’re excited to offer UA Grantham students and grads the opportunity to access quality, flexible online education to improve their skill sets and their lives,” said Rya Conrad-Bradshaw, General Manager, ed2go, “ed2go is looking forward to supporting UA Grantham’s mission, and contributing to its students growth and success with relevant, transferable skills."
