Chegg Inc.

Earlier this week at #EdTechWeek in New York, Megan O'Connor, VP of Business-to-Institution GTM at Chegg Inc., highlighted a major generational mindset shift. Today’s students expect to continually acquire new skills, preparing not for a single career, but for multiple throughout their lives. According to Chegg.org’s 2023 #GlobalStudentSurvey, 65% of students worldwide want AI tool training integrated into their curriculum to prepare for future careers. As students’ aspirations evolve, higher education has an opportunity to adapt to meet this changing landscape. Curious about student perspectives on AI, education, and careers?

What an incredible week it has been! At Chegg, our Student Advocacy Team in Portland is the backbone of our company. This week, we had the pleasure of celebrating their dedication, hard work, and commitment to our students.

Tanzillo – this week has certainly been one of celebration and development!   A huge shout-out to every one of our Advocates for going above and beyond to support our students every single day.

Together, we can lead the way in creating a healthier, more compassionate world.   #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters
