BOSTON - PennZone -- Electives, the modern learning platform for lean People teams, was named the "Professional Development Solution Provider of the Year" at the 6th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards. This prestigious award recognizes top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.

Building on the success of being named "Corporate Learning Solution of the Year" in 2023, Electives continues to excel in delivering high-quality live learning experiences. Designed to get ahead of employee development demands, Electives empowers People teams to offer best-in-class live learning with minimal effort, ensuring continuous employee growth and engagement.

In 2023, Electives launched Electives Membership, revolutionizing corporate training once again. Electives Membership offers personalized learning through daily live classes, allowing employees to enroll in sessions aligned with their personal interests and career goals. This addition significantly enhanced the flexibility and accessibility of offerings from Electives. Every employee has unique needs and desires when it comes to learning, and People teams struggle to match each employee with the quality learning they need. Electives Membership gives People teams confidence that their employees are getting personalized, high-quality and engaging training opportunities every week of the year.

The Electives instructor community is not your typical group of corporate trainers. Electives instructors include professors, C-suite executives, astronauts, Olympic athletes, comedians, poets, songwriters, historians, best-selling authors and storytelling experts skilled at engaging learners. After taking Electives classes, 89% of employees expect positive behavior changes. These changes include adjusting work routines, improving relationships, making better decisions and viewing themselves and others differently. This feedback, gathered immediately after classes, highlights the immediate impact and anticipated long-term benefits of the transformative learning experiences delivered by Electives.
