Accelerate careers, build a pipeline
Create a sustainable pipeline of next-generation talent—with no upfront cost and low risk to the employer.*
How it Works
We facilitate upfront funding
Stride facilitates upfront financing for talented students, disbursed directly to their institution.
Graduates join your company
Upon graduation, employer-screened and accepted students launch their career as a full-time employee.
You repay loans for retained employees
Repay Stride only while employee is retained and performing (if employee leaves, obligation moves to them).*
A win-win-win solution
Our Employer Sponsored Loan programs connect employers, training programs, and talent early — with up to 3 years retention on the backend.
Here's how our solution benefits everyone:
Students
Reduced cost of attendance and guaranteed employment after graduation.
Schools
Increased access, enrollment, and outcomes.
Employers
Recruit and compete for top talent, building a sustainable pipeline of retained full-time employees—with no upfront cost and low risk.*
