We're here to help.
Grand Canyon University’s Educational Alliances support the advancement of instruction and learning to prepare all student populations to succeed in the 21st century. We believe that strong education systems and outstanding educators, with the support of the community, can nurture student learning and ignite greater academic success.
Our alliances are designed to bridge the gap between school and district needs and employee skills through higher education. Our corporate partnerships focus on improving workforce performance, with an emphasis on offering higher education and professional development opportunities. K12 Educational Development supports public, private and charter schools, in addition to alternative educational establishments such as independent agencies and homeschools.
The demands of business are ever-changing and organizations need skilled professionals to provide innovative solutions. University development counselors at GCU work to establish relationships with a variety of employers, including schools and districts, government agencies, hospitals and community colleges to improve workforce performance. Our degree programs encourage you to think critically, lead effectively and demonstrate best practices appropriately.
Join GCU’s participants and give your employees access to an affordable, private Christian education. Participating employees not only gain confidence in their ability to excel in our rigorous programs, but they also come to appreciate the doors that open with an advanced degree.

University development counselors and campus representatives offer consultations and can discuss career and academic goals with your staff. Courses are offered in flexible formats – allowing a balance between home, college and work.
