COLUMBIA, Md. — Adams and Associates, Inc. (Adams) has recently announced a new partnership with Peirce College that provides its staff members with professional development opportunities and support as they work to achieve their career goals.
Peirce College will begin holding virtual information sessions this month where staff members can learn about discounted tuition, academic credit that can be obtained for prior work and professional or military training, and the flexible online and on-campus courses that are available to them.
“We are very excited about our corporate partnership with Peirce College,” said Greg Weber, Vice President of Operations at Adams. “This partnership is one of the many ways we are working to support the personal and professional development of our staff.”
“I am thrilled to see this partnership take off,” said Dr. Stephanie Gibbs-Emenaka, Dean of Admissions and Corporate Partnerships at Peirce College. “At Peirce, we empower adult learners to take the next step in their careers. As a corporate partner, Adams and Associates employees will have the opportunity to receive college credit for what they know by taking advantage of Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) options. But this is only the beginning! I look forward to the future and what's to come as we work together.”
