The Goal of EdTech Operations

 
 

Every job description for an operations role in EdTech looks different. That’s because operations looks different for every EdTech company and might require different skill sets.

In this episode of the EdTech Connect podcast, we’ll explore what’s being said about education requirements in job searches, why you need a better resume for recruiters, and finally, what operations roles can look like across EdTech. I’ll share why operations looks different for every company and how you can know if it’s the right fit for you.

This episode is packed with information for the EdTech professional and the transitioning educator alike.
