About the role
Noodle is higher education’s leading strategy, services, and technology partner. We develop infrastructure, provide life-changing learning experiences, and grow the awareness of and the enrollment in some of the best academic institutions in the world. Our vision is “to empower universities to change the world.” We achieve this vision by offering our university partners various products and services that help them be more resilient, responsive, efficient, and interconnected.
The Noodle Learning Platform (NLP) is an exciting chapter in Noodle’s story: it’s our first-ever direct to consumer (and corporate employee) product. NLP offers our extensive network of top universities a clear pathway to compete in the lifelong learning and corporate upskilling markets. We partner with universities to modernize their educational offerings to meet the demands of the modern student and job market.
How does NLP serve universities?
Strategically, NLP enables our university partners to enter the non-degree space every time they launch a degree program. This drastically widens the potential candidate pool for said programs, and lowers student acquisition cost by reducing their reliance on traditional paid media channels that are increasingly competitive and expensive.
How does NLP serve students?
There’s no shortage of instructional content on the internet— but as a learner, how do you find the right content that matches your career aspirations? NLP enables learners to centralize their discovery and actual knowledge acquisition in one place. Learners can discover the best pathways for their career aspirations, as well as obtain that learning, in a more socially engaging, expert-supported, and accessible way than anything else in the market.
How does NLP serve Noodle’s overall mission?
NLP will help lower the cost of acquisition for our university partners across the board, which clearly aligns with our mission of lowering the cost of higher education.
