TROY, Mich., Oct. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kelly Education, the nation's leading provider of education workforce solutions with over 10,000 school partners, and Elevate K-12, the largest LIVE virtual teaching company, which has taught over 350,000 students, announced a strategic partnership aimed at supporting the continuity of learning during the persistent teacher and support staff vacancy crisis.

This collaboration combines the strengths of Kelly Education's extensive network of highly qualified classroom coaches with Elevate K-12's highly qualified, U.S.-certified teacher pool and virtual teaching platform. This partnership means that school districts grappling with unfilled positions and the repercussions of expanding class sizes will be able to leverage both companies for a seamless staffing solution that augments a school’s existing resources, providing effective instruction without compromise.

"Partnering with Elevate K-12 allows us to enhance our support for school districts by integrating LIVE virtual instruction with on-the-ground classroom coaches, providing a holistic and effective educational experience in a safe and nurturing environment," said Nicola Soares, President of Kelly Education. "This partnership is about giving students the education they deserve from experienced, certified instructors from wherever they are, while supporting these virtual teachers with great in-classroom resources."

"Our collaboration with Kelly Education is a significant step in our mission to bring high-quality education to every corner of the country," said Piyush Lumba, Chief Executive Officer at Elevate K-12. "While our customers love our virtual teaching solutions, they often struggle with staffing the classrooms with well-trained and committed resources, without straining their current workforce.
