“Employers are redefining workforce development as a continuous journey, not a fixed destination,” said Elise Awwad, president and CEO of DeVry University. “DeVryPro is built to support that shift by delivering education directly aligned with skills acquisition and career progression. Our courses are designed to integrate into the rhythm of today’s workforce, supporting learners as they upskill, reskill and expand their capabilities throughout their careers. In a labor market where knowledge depreciates quickly, our responsibility is to architect learning pathways that compound in value and shift in sync with organizational needs and industry expectations. We are excited about what DeVryPro represents – a true lifelong learning ecosystem built to meet learners where they are and grow with them across the arc of their professional lives.”

DeVry’s 2024 report, Closing the Gap: Upskilling and Reskilling in an AI Era, revealed the importance of upskilling and reskilling for both employees and employers as AI and emerging technologies impact nearly every industry– requiring both to rethink how they approach skills development. According to research, two-thirds of workers (67%) are open to alternative credentials and lifelong learning to advance their careers, seeing alternative credentials as equally valuable as traditional degrees in career advancement.

DeVryPro’s curriculum covers essential disciplines such as AI, data analytics and leadership development. The platform integrates cutting-edge tools such as generative AI coaching, modern platforms and other industry leading technologies to deliver an engaging and practical learning experience.

A unique feature of the platform is its AI Learning Coaches which were developed individually for each course and accompany students throughout their learning journey. The real-time learning coaches answer questions, prompt deeper thinking, provide assignment feedback, offer new perspectives on the material being studied and encourage deeper dialogue and research on class topics– enhancing the overall learning experience.

“Flexibility is key for our students. Many are working adults who balance the pursuit of education with family life and other personal commitments,” added Shantanu Bose, Ph.D., DeVry University’s provost and chief academic officer. “DeVryPro’s fully online structure, combined with a self-paced format that is reinforced by AI learning coaches, enables learners to engage with materials at their convenience. This allows working professionals to upskill, reskill and integrate learning seamlessly in a way that suits their unique circumstances.”

Learners can earn a verifiable Certificate of Completion or Badge, which recognizes their competencies and showcases verified skills that are highly valued in today’s job market, opening doors to career growth opportunities in credential-driven markets.
