Focusing on AI Learning, Careers and Opportunities
A Better Tuition Solution
Online Access to 6000 Programs from 2000 Schoole
New partnership bringing elements together to ease entry into the AI learning and credentialing space.
BOCA RATON, FLORIDA, USA, November 2, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Skill Escalator and Meratas are excited to announce the formation of a strategic partnership, aimed at amplifying access to Artificial Intelligence (AI) career training and workforce development courses, complemented by practical financing solutions. This collaboration brings together the strengths of Joseph Schmoke, CEO of Skill Escalator, and Darius Goldman, Founder and CEO of Meratas.
Having spent nearly a decade at the helm of an accredited university, Schmoke saw major obstacles facing many prospective students and focused his attention on the need for efficient, cost-effective non-degree programs. With his co-founded venture, Alternatives to College LLC, Schmoke curated an extensive database that boasts over six thousand non-degree programs from nearly 2,000 educational institutions. Recognizing the burgeoning demand in tech, especially AI, Schmoke geared Skill Escalator to be at the forefront of the AI niche.
Darius Goldman, who guides the overarching vision at Meratas, offers turnkey software that streamlines educational financing for Learning Institutions. Meratas eliminates the guesswork involved in applying for private financial aid by offering a one-stop online marketplace for both private loans and school-sponsored payment plans. In mere minutes, students can compare real, prequalified loan offers for both private student and personal loans from a roster of national lenders—all through a single, streamlined application process.
Commenting on Meratas, Schmoke mentioned, “I was drawn to how Darius has adapted a model known to the auto insurance and mortgage industries by making it relevant to educational financing.” Goldman added, “Meratas simplifies the entire private student loan process by connecting students with a network of lenders through our user-friendly platform.”
Together, Goldman and Schmoke stated, “Our goal is straightforward: bridge the gap in AI education. As we prepare for the launch of SkillEscalator.com, interested parties are invited to explore Meratas’ Loan Sherpa program at Meratas.com. We’re here to make a tangible difference.”
