Careers

We believe in equality and social justice

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

We believe in equality and social justice

Adtalem, and our family of organizations, are united in our stance of being an anti-racist organization — one that stands for equality and social justice — and against violence, hate and supremacy of any kind. This commitment isn’t just in the words we say, it’s reflected in the actions we take. We are committed to championing diversity and inclusion. We do this by ensuring we have diverse representation at every level of our organization, cultivating leaders who are committed to creating a sense of engagement and belonging, and embedding our TEACH values into programs and policies that assures our culture and community embrace equality for all.

We believe in an inclusive culture and support the LGBTQ community

Adtalem supports a culture where colleagues can bring their full, authentic selves to work, and is inclusive regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Not only does the organization support the LGBTQ community, it provides healthcare benefits to same-sex life partners of employees, medical coverage for gender reassignment surgery and benefits for adoption by same-sex partners. Your family is our family, and we want to help you provide for them.

We believe in empowering women and the advancement of gender diversity

Our EDGE (Empowerment, Diversity, Growth, Excellence) network, which supports the enhanced career experience and advancement of women in the workforce, is one of our most vibrant internal programs promoting professional development and diversity, with 23 chapters globally. Given EDGE’s vision to empower an internationally diverse group of women to network, mentor and participate in professional development programs, our students and members are also invited to attend select EDGE events hosted by their local chapters.

We believe in serving those who served and support veterans

Adtalem has a long history of supporting military service men and women by employing hundreds of veterans and reservists, many of whom have deployed while working with the organization. As an official Employer Support Guard and Reserve member, we support employees that participate in the military in order to strengthen the readiness of the Nation’s Guard and Reserve units, and value the leadership and unique skills service members bring to the workforce. In addition, through the Adtalem Global Education Foundation, we are proud to support veterans’ groups and programming, including the American Humane Pups4Patriots initiative.

Diversity at Adtalem Global Education....

As our country continues to recover, reconcile, and emerge from a past soaked in social injustices, Adtalem has created an ethos of belonging that has sparked a renewed sense of hope. From the boardroom to the classroom, while online or face to face, colleagues receive critical skills that empower them to lift DE&I off the pages of complexity and into practices that have strengthened our capacity to dismantle systemic racism and increase access to high-quality education. Indeed, DE&I has been threaded through our TEACH values and serves as the institution's north star that is illuminating our path to social justice.
