Ascendium Education Group
For more than 50 years, Ascendium’s mission has been to make learning beyond high school available to everyone so they can reach their highest potential. We help people pay back their student loans, provide schools and businesses with services that promote financial wellbeing and quality of life and give grants to organizations that work to increase access to education and workforce training. For the past three years, Ascendium has been named a Top Workplace, both nationally and in the Madison, Wisconsin, area. We’re proud of these designations as they speak to the culture we’ve created — one where employees feel connected to our organization and believe in our vision to elevate opportunity through education and workforce training.
