WES: A Pillar of Credential Evaluation
For 50 years, WES has set the standard for international academic credential evaluation, supporting millions of people as they seek to achieve their academic and professional goals. WES helps people learn, work, and thrive in new places. It operates a self-sustaining model, leveraging commercial revenues generated by products and services for social good. These financial resources are reinvested into mission-driven programming, advocacy, research, and grantmaking. The leadership team brings a wealth of expertise from the public, private, and social sectors to WES’ unique intersection of education, workforce development, philanthropy, policy, advocacy, and research.
WES strives to open pathways for individuals with international credentials and is devoted to the global mobility and success of immigrants, refugees, and international students. They work at the intersection of education, workforce development, advocacy, policy, research, and philanthropy. Many of the people working there have lived the immigrant experience firsthand. This inspires and informs their work with their clients and partners.
