What some education vendors say isn't always what they mean.

"We offer tuition assistance."
Translation: "We put the burden on your employees to obtain a letter of credit, cover overages, and if they go into debt, they should have made better decisions."
"We don't restrict programs to 'just a few partners'."
Translation: "We're a discount aggregator that leaves employees confused and overwhelmed with thousands of unvetted choices.
"We provide 1:1 coaching."
Translation: "We provide one time, 1:1 coaching with outsourced and uncertified "career coaches" that we repurposed from supporting high school students — not working adults.
"We have robust analytics for your program."
Translation: "It's up to you to find out from employees how far they are in their programs, what skills they've learned, and what jobs they can move into."
"We have 16 career pathways."
Translation: "16 pathways just lead to 16 jobs, not the dozens of jobs where business teams need to hire people now."
