University of Phoenix was founded on the idea that learners - whether working adults, first-time college students, military veterans or people from other backgrounds - should have access to a world-class education. The University pioneered the concept of self-paced and self-scheduled learning that is context-driven, based on the latest in science and real-world industrial needs. Traditional colleges and universities tend to focus on content-driven instruction that does not always prepare the learner for workplace challenges. In contrast, University of Phoenix focuses on preparing its students for the real-life projects and challenges they will face once they enter or re-enter the workforce.

Filipino engineer Izrael Zenar “IZ” Bautista, project manager of Japan’s Kyushu Institute of Technology’s (Kyutech) 4th Joint Global Multi-Nation Birds Satellite (BIRDS-4) Project, disclosed this to the Manila Bulletin in an interview.
“It is safe to say that these cube satellites will be launched into space by third or fourth quarter of 2021 or latter half of 2021,” he said.
Aggregator recruitment start-ups meet the old order
The developing aggregator picture has some of the hallmarks of a classic movie where the scrappy outsider working from their bedroom takes on the corporate giants with near limitless resources.
One sign is that we are seeing Yocket, a company started in 2015 by four Indian graduates for US$132, taking on ETS, founded in 1947, which had revenues of over US$1 billion in 2019.
Underneath that David versus Goliath headline there are many other factors at play, with most leading to circumstances where many universities find themselves marginalised as active recruiters.
EdAgree is a subsidiary of ETS founded with US$1 million of seed funding from ETS’s corporate investment arm, ETS Strategic Capital. It runs a free platform allowing international students to match with and apply to university with the support of an advisor.
