We’re the world’s leading learning company, dedicated to helping everyone realize the life they imagine. We have more than 20,000 employees that deliver our products and services in nearly 200 countries, all working towards a common purpose – to help everyone achieve their potential through learning. We do that by providing high quality, digital content and learning experiences, as well as assessments and qualifications that help people build their skills and grow with the world around them.
Each one of us is a work in progress. No matter how much we accomplish in life, there’s always more to do, more to be - now more than ever. More sides of ourselves to discover, more chapters to add to our story. The minute we stop learning is the minute we stop fully living. And through it all, there’s Pearson.
With us, learning isn’t just something to get through; it’s a chance for a breakthrough. A challenging, enriching experience you undertake knowing it’s taking you forward and making an impact. For those who want progress, not just potential, Pearson is your partner in the moments that matter, proudly creating experiences that are full of life, so yours are too.
We are all works in progress. Luckily, knowing who to turn to in learning doesn’t require a learning curve of its own. Partner with Pearson and realize the life you imagine.
We are creating the premier digital learning ecosystem for life – a connected consumer and commercial strategy relevant for learners everywhere, providing a growing global addressable market.
We value the well-being of our people. That's why, for most roles, we offer flexibility in how and where we work be it from home, an office, or during non-traditional hours. You can help us build a more inclusive learning culture where everyone regardless of what they look like, where they come from, or what they believe has the capability to unlock new skills and claim new opportunities.
We’re committed to equity and opportunity, so that all learners can realise the life they imagine. We believe learning is a powerful force for change and that diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental to who we are. We’re committed to addressing all forms of systematic racism, discrimination and inequality in everything we do.
We also believe in giving everyone in the company the chance to help shape a more inclusive culture, in which everyone feels a sense of belonging and in which everyone acts with integrity day-in, day-out. Pearson works with thousands of expert authors and education professionals who draw on a range of academic theories, frameworks, and best practices to provide students with high quality and inclusive learning content.

Basically it includes 5 stages.
We expect a lot from you, so we give a lot back. We’ve designed our workplace programs to meet your and your family’s needs, with some of the best benefits in the industry.
Because everyone’s circumstances are different, we offer a range of options that let you tailor your benefits to suit your needs. Standard benefits include:
Across the business, we’ve focused on the health and safety of our employees, customers and all of our stakeholders in the wider world of learning. And we’ve carefully balanced this with being able to carry on our day-to-day operations.
In the pandemic we acted quickly to prioritize the health and wellbeing of our 20,000+ employees. Wherever possible, we have encouraged our people to work from home, helping them feel connected and safe – 87% of our people were working from home effectively shortly after closing offices due to the pandemic.
We made the decision not to furlough employees, instead repurposing them where possible to areas of high demand in the business, such as online learning. Not only was that the right thing to do, but we were able to do so due to the strength of our balance sheet, our strong financial position, and liquidity, which also allowed us to pay a final dividend to our shareholders.
