Pearson plc, headquartered in London, England, is a British multinational publishing and education company. Founded in the 1840s, Pearson initially started as a construction business but pivoted to publishing in the 1920s. Today, it stands as the world’s largest education company, serving customers in nearly 200 countries with digital content, assessments, qualifications, and data.
Historically known for its extensive involvement in the publishing industry, Pearson has strategically divested non-core assets such as the Financial Times, The Economist, and Penguin Random House to focus on education and testing services. The company’s primary activities include higher education, clinical assessments, professional certification, and testing services.
In recent developments, Pearson has introduced advanced AI study tools across its Pearson+ eTextbooks. These tools, which generate explanations, summaries, and practice questions, have been well-received by students and educators alike. Over 40 titles in subjects such as math, science, business, and nursing are set to feature these tools by the fall of 2024, further enhancing the learning experience.
Moreover, Pearson has expanded into the esports education sector through a continued partnership with British Esports. This collaboration has led to the launch of higher-tier BTEC qualifications in Esports, providing clear progression pathways into the lucrative esports industry for students globally.
Pearson is also making significant strides in workforce assessment solutions through its subsidiary, PDRI. At the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) Annual Conference, PDRI's CEO, Dr. Elaine Pulakos, will co-lead workshops and present on panel discussions, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based assessment solutions in talent management.
In the realm of certification, Pearson VUE has partnered with SAE International to deliver the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Technician Certification. This initiative aims to address the shortage of qualified EV technicians and supports the growing EV infrastructure globally.
