Learner Success Stories
We’re incredibly proud of our story. As one of the world’s largest free learning platforms for education and skills training, we’ve helped millions of people around the world gain employment and further educational opportunities which they otherwise could not have accessed. As such, we know that we count among our learners millions of tenacious self-starters and go-getters. And we know that each of our learners has their own story to tell. The Graduate series shares the inspirational stories behind so many of our learners, stories of hard work and entrepreneurial spirit, of education and opportunity. At Alison we’re incredibly proud of our story, and we know you’re proud of your story too.
