The Guild Mission
Guild’s mission is to unlock opportunity for America’s workforce through education, with a double-bottom line business model that does well by doing good.
Female Founded, Venture Funded & Mission Led
There are more than 30 million working adults without a high school diploma, and 70% of the U.S. population does not have a college degree.
Rachel Romer Carlson and Brittany Stich founded Guild Education to help those groups gain an education through their employer’s tuition benefits — leading to increased employee satisfaction, and improved retention for employers.
