At Electives, our mission is to build an innovative training curriculum that employees will love, taught by people they'll never forget. We serve a portfolio of global partners, and are building a new kind of Learning and Development (L&D) and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) platform to connect employees to unique teachers - from Olympians, to FBI agents, to professors and social justice advocates. We believe that great teachers can be life-changing, and we help organizations embed these life-changing moments into their culture. We are a mission-driven, corporate education platform, redefining how organizations deliver training content to employees.
