At Blackboard, we want you to have more than just a job. We have your successful long term career goals in mind. Between career development opportunities and personal growth programs, we work to ensure your job satisfaction. From ballgames to wine tastings to fundraisers and book drives, Blackboard employees take part in a wide range of social, cultural and charitable events with an emphasis on giving back to the community.
Professional Growth
As a company dedicated to education, it only makes sense we are committed to the professional development of our own employees. Blackboard University™, our professional development program, provides formal and informal learning resources to all Blackboard employees. Through this program, you’ll have opportunities to join everything from leadership development programs and industry seminars to technical training. As you continue your journey here, we’ll support your movement and progress within the company. We’ll give you the flexibility in work schedules and environment that you need. And just as importantly, we’ll partner with you and your manager to identify opportunities that align with your career development plans.
Community Involvement
Blackboard is a proud of member of the communities in which we operate, and we feel a moral responsibility to serve as a driving force in learning and education across the globe.
That’s why we adopt an education-related charity each year for fundraising and volunteer events. It’s also why we’ve formed an intra-company events committee designed to further the cause of education in the local community and serve as a channel for community outreach and charitable giving.
Work Environment
In most of our major locations, we commit resources to enhancing our corporate culture and having some fun while we’re at it. It’s our goal to nurture a greater understanding of the diverse cultures and communities represented by our employees. At the same time, we’re constantly looking for way to provide our employees with fun and creative social and cultural opportunities that promote interaction throughout the company.
Recognition Programs
Knowing you’re doing a good job is one thing – being recognized by managers or co-workers for your superior contributions is quite another. Our ABCD Awards Program, which stands for “Above and Beyond the Call of Duty,” serves as an umbrella for a variety of recognition and reward initiatives. Each is designed to reward exceptional performance by recognizing achievement and innovation.
