Pearson - the global leader in lifelong learning, and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company recently announced the expansion of their longstanding partnership to accelerate the delivery of AI-powered learning to millions worldwide, enhancing the learner experience across Pearson’s products and services.

As AI reshapes education and the workforce, improving learning capabilities is crucial for developing a workforce that is adaptable, continually upskilling, ready for career transitions, and seeking personal fulfillment.

With the help of AWS, Pearson will be able to get there faster, scale personalized learning, and create more access to AI tools for learners and educators. This partnership brings together two respected and leading companies in the fields of technology and learning. Together, we can reach many more learners and provide them with the tools they need to succeed and realise the life they imagine for themselves.”

“We’re excited to expand our long-standing collaboration with Pearson to unlock the power of cloud and AI for learners around the world,” said Matt Garman, CEO at AWS. “Together with Pearson, we will leverage the global scale and AI capabilities of AWS to enable innovative new learning experiences that are personalized and accessible for all.”
