The DeVry Culture of Care: Supporting Employee Learners at Every Step

Your employee learners represent the future of your organization. But along with new skills, they need the support to help them balance their commitment to earning a skill-building certificate or degree with the realities of their everyday lives. This means different things to different students, but it often entails balancing coursework with a full-time job and family and community obligations.

At DeVry University and our Keller Graduate School of Business, we’re wired for student success. We know that to help close the opportunity gap for working adult students, many of them from underrepresented societal groups, we must step up to offer flexible scheduling tools and resources to help them succeed at every phase of their educational journeys.

To encourage student engagement and success at DeVry, we’ve developed the DeVry Care Formula. It’s a fusion of people, processes and technology designed to amplify the care provided to learners when and where they most need it. This includes the deployment of actionable analytics to identify opportunities to motivate students and employing well-timed, automated messages from professors and advisors.

We Know Working Students

For generations, DeVry has been focused on the needs of working students. For many of them, earning a college degree once seemed out of reach. Add work and family responsibilities to the mix and the opportunity gap widens. But when your need for a skilled, agile workforce aligns with their motivation, you can both succeed. 

Affordability is a major obstacle for adult learners. That’s why we counsel our students toward lower debt options, leverage corporate partnerships and encourage the full utilization of employer tuition benefits and state-specific grants and scholarships.

A student-focused experience

DeVry students enrolled in our online certificate and degree programs study anytime, anywhere on our digital platform, enabling them to achieve the work-school balance that works best for them. With 24/7, on-demand tutoring, they can connect with knowledgeable tutors in a variety of subject areas. Our convenient mobile app allows students to access coursework, register for courses, manage tuition and loans from their smartphones or tablets.

A variety of digital resources help students complete coursework and use time efficiently. Among these are e-textbooks and audiobooks that can be accessed whenever and wherever students need them. Our extensive digital library allows students to connect virtually with research consultants or access periodical databases, e-books and more.

Real-world connectivity

Our partnership with Engageli allows students to connect with faculty and peers across the country, taking part in active learning sessions in real-time through innovative technology.
