Global educational services provider Kaplan is proud to announce its inclusion on the Inc. 2024 Best in Business list, in several categories: Education; General Excellence; Extra Large Company Size (500 Employees +); and Enduring Impact: 15+ years. Inc. magazine’s annual Best in Business Awards celebrate the exceptional achievements and contributions of companies that have made a profound impact on their industries and on society at large.
The prestigious list recognizes companies that, through exceptional execution, have achieved significant milestones and core business wins, like customer expansion, key product launches, increased market share, and industry-defining accomplishments. In particular, Kaplan won for its All Access License, which enables colleges and universities to help their students prepare for a variety of high-stakes admissions and licensing exams that they need to score well on to reach their professional goals — with zero out-of-pocket costs for students. When a school makes the investment in Kaplan’s career path-changing offering, students can take a number of test prep courses for free, including for the GRE®, GMAT®, LSAT®, MCAT®, bar exam, USMLE®, and NCLEX-RN® exam. Additionally, students can prepare for a number of business and financial-focused products at no cost to them. Launched in 2022, the License has already saved thousands of students millions of dollars at schools like Cleveland State University, Xavier University of Louisiana, Howard University, Delaware State University, Hampton University, and Spelman College. And Kaplan’s most recent partners include Syracuse University College of Law and Albion College.
Gregory Marino, CEO, Kaplan North America, said:
"Kaplan is honored to be named to Inc.’s Best in Business list, a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and our mission to help our students, partners, and clients achieve their educational and career goals. Whether it’s through innovative learning solutions, professional development programs, or test prep that empowers advancement, Kaplan is dedicated to transforming aspirations into achievements. This award is recognition of the trust millions worldwide place in us and the exceptional outcomes we deliver. It also serves as an inspiration to our dedicated team of thousands across the globe, who work tirelessly to drive meaningful change. Together, we’ll continue to make a lasting impact on education, workforce development, and beyond."
Inc. Editor-in-Chief Mike Hofman said:
“For over 40 years Inc. has been committed to recognizing America’s most dynamic businesses and honoring the great work they do. These businesses have had a profound impact on their industries, solving important problems, and shaping the future of business in ways that will have lasting effects.”
In October, Inc. also named Kaplan a winner in its third annual Power Partner Awards, which honors B2B organizations that have proven track records of helping businesses grow. And in May, Fast Company named Kaplan as a winner in its 2024 World Changing Ideas Awards, also for its All Access License.
