Packback

Packback is proud to announce that we have been named to TIME and Statista's inaugural list of “World’s Top EdTech Companies 2024”. To compile this list, Time and Statista gathered and analyzed data from over 7,000 global EdTech companies, scoring them on two primary criteria: financial strength and industry impact. After analyzing and scoring each company, Time and Statista ultimately decided to designate the 250 highest scoring companies as the World's Top EdTech Companies. This recognition would not be possible without the tireless efforts of each and every Packback employee, along with the partnerships we’ve formed with professors, HigherEd Institutions, K-12 Institutions, and students across the country. We thank you all for your part in this recognition and look forward to continuing our mission to inspire every student to be fearlessly curious. #time #worldstopedtech #rankings #edtech #educationnews You can read the full publication here ?? https://lnkd.in/gbhhm4pE

Hearing that students are embracing this opportunity to dive deeper into their learning means the world to us. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! #StudentVoices #EdTech #Curiosity #Packback

This week’s Packbacker Spotlight shines bright on ?Jenna Mosley? our Experience Manager II based in Athens, GA! After spending 10 years teaching Pre-K and Kindergarten in Chicago, Jenna transitioned to Packback, where her passion for education continues to shine in a new capacity. As a former educator, Jenna was determined to find a role where she could still make an impact—and she’s found just that. "Throughout my time here, I have been consistently challenged, but have also never been more supported," Jenna shares. She values the collaboration and encouragement from her managers and teammates, which she says are "unmatched." Balancing work and family is no small feat, but Jenna appreciates how Packback prioritizes flexibility. As a working mom to her little boy, Fitz, she feels truly supported in both her family life and career growth. When she’s not hard at work, Jenna loves to read, work out, and spend time with her family—whether they’re traveling, trying new restaurants, or cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs! ???? We’re lucky to have you on the team, Jenna! #PackbackerSpotlight #TeamPackback #Education #GoDawgs
