Fort Lauderdale, FL (September 30, 2026) — Great Place To Work® and Fortune have named global education company Kaplan No. 1 in the Large category on their 2026 Fortune Best Workplaces in Education & Training™ List. This is Kaplan’s first time being named to this prestigious list. Kaplan has previously been Certified™ by Great Place To Work® for three consecutive years, including 2026.
Gregory Marino, CEO, Kaplan North America:
“We’re incredibly proud to be recognized as the No. 1 workplace in the Large category on Great Place To Work® and Fortune’s 2026 Best Workplaces in Education & Training™ list because it reflects Kaplan’s commitment to investing in our people and their growth. We want our employees to have opportunities to build the skills they need to succeed today while preparing for what’s next. That’s especially important as AI and other technologies rapidly reshape how we work and serve our students and partners. By helping our employees continuously learn, adapt, and develop new capabilities, we’re supporting their own professional growth as well as strengthening Kaplan and ensuring that both our people and our company are ready for the future.”
