Building Careers at Adtalem: Progression at Every Stage

While some organizations have formal career development programs, others leave it in their employees' hands. 

At Adtalem Global Education, we very much recognize the importance of career planning. We believe that supporting our employees’ growth is just as important as serving our students and communities. No matter if you work in our marketing roles, enrollment roles, or our nursing faculty, you can take comfort in knowing your career development prospects will be well looked after.

We’ve laid the foundation for robust, structured career development programs with resources and initiatives designed to help employees grow their skills, explore career paths, and prepare for the future, no matter what stages of career development they find themselves in.

What Are Career Progression Opportunities?

Career progression opportunities refer to the tools, pathways, and support that help employees advance within an organization. Some general examples include:

• Attending workshops and seminars, either hosted by your company or an external organizer
• Attending networking events in your industry or the industry you’re looking to break into
• Volunteering to take on different roles and responsibilities in your position to pick up extra skills and knowledge

At Adtalem, we offer a variety of career development activities and resources that empower our people to take ownership of their careers. This includes access to on-demand learning, targeted leadership programs, and evolving internal mobility efforts to help team members explore new roles across our diverse portfolio of institutions and departments.

Why Career Progression Is Important

Career progression is more than just thinking about promotion—it’s about purpose, skill-building, and engagement. 

Employees who see a future for themselves within an organization may be more motivated, productive, and committed. That’s why we’re focused on creating an environment where growth is not only encouraged but expected. Whether someone is just starting out or leading a team, we aim to offer the support they need to grow with us.

How to Create a Career Progression Plan

Within Adtalem, we encourage all of our employees to take charge of their growth. 

We recommend the following approach when it comes to making your career progression plan:

• Reflect on Your Goals: Think about what energizes you, what skills you want to build, and where you see yourself in 3-5 years.
• Use Available Tools: All employees have access to LinkedIn Learning, a robust library of courses covering everything from project management to communication and leadership.
• Have Career Conversations: Managers are encouraged to have regular career check-ins to help employees map out their next steps and identify development needs.
• Seek Stretch Assignments: We promote a culture of learning by doing, encouraging employees to volunteer for cross-functional projects or step into new challenges to gain experience.
