Changing the flow of education

“The future is fluid. Each act, each decision and each development creates new possibilities and eliminates others. The future is ours to direct. ” – Jacque Fresco

Fluid Education is a purpose-driven education services organization focused on creating accelerated access to education. We partner with universities and organizations to help them recruit, develop and educate their greatest resources- their people.

Filling the Gap

At Fluid Education we believe learning is a never-ending process that is meant to enrich the lives of the learners, mentally, financially, emotionally and beyond. Education is one of the greatest indicators of quality of life. Our goal is to build a collaborative community of educators focused on developing as many pathways as possible to engage people to learn and then apply that learning in meaningful and rewarding ways.

Learners are yearning for opportunity. Organizations are starving for talent. Universities are searching for students. Fluid Education brings these groups together matching students with degree and certificate programs, connecting organizations with qualified, top graduates and developing the enterprise-level talent pool to keep pace with the rapidly-changing market needs.
