Innovate+Educate was founded in 2008 to create a skills-based paradigm shift for working and learning.
Founder Jamai Blivin and her team of experts spent a decade piloting strategies and technologies to ensure this shift. The Board of Directors was instrumental in supporting the organization over the decade.
I+E continues its journey in 2020 as producer of the CLOSE IT Summit (October 12-14, 2020) with a mission to ensure we provide gap funding for internships, training and experiences for the working learner.

JUST RELEASED!
The working learner population is 1.3 times larger than the traditional learner population (meaning, full-time students working less than 20 hrs a week.) The learning worker population is 4.5 times larger. Together, the two populations are enormous drivers of change in higher education. The report elevates the need for just-in-time, bite-sized learning that makes sense for someone working and learning at the same time.
Our Mission
