Successful implementations require much more than just great technology.

We have over 300 customer-facing experts deployed nationwide to provide daily contact, professional development, expert technical advice, and consultative services whenever and wherever needed. Furthermore, our U.S.-based customer support centers offer expert product assistance with immediate, personalized communication via phone or the Internet. Though products evolve and technologies change, our commitment to customers is stronger than ever.

Research & Development
From instructional design, to development, to rigorous editorial review, our production processes seamlessly combine the latest education theories with decades of real-world experience, resulting in the most innovative, targeted experiences for our customers. We are fully committed to providing the industry with standards- and research-based software solutions that stand up to the scrutiny of government efficacy, industry review, and customer expectations. In fact, we have volunteered to take part in a 3-year U.S. Department of Education study that will evaluate computer-based reading and math products in classroom settings to measure the effectiveness of technology in bolstering student achievement.

Our Community

Pearson Digital Learning is more than just a business. We are a group of individuals who, like our customers, are committed to changing the world through better education. 2 out of 3 employees are former educators themselves, and 80% have previous education industry experience, which enables us to have a unique perspective on what educators and students face in the classroom every day.

Pearson employees are socially-conscious, and regularly donate their time and energy to causes that excite and interest them. We partner with Jumpstart, a non-profit organization, to train and recruit college students to work one-to-one with low-income pre-school children in literacy, language, and social skills. The Pearson Jumpstart Partnership reaches over 5,000 children in 20 cities across the U.S. each year.

Our community efforts are recognized by fellow organizations. For the third straight year, Pearson has been named the media sector leader in the recent Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI), which identifies companies for their strong environmental, social, and ethical performance.

Additionally, we believe in translating our beliefs and passions to build a stronger work/life balance for our employees. That’s why we have also been voted one of Working Mother magazine’s 100 Best Companies for Working Mothers for several years running, making Pearson one of the family-friendliest companies in America.
