Global Vocational Education Platform Enhancement & Expansion

Pearson's BTEC program faces challenges in scaling its vocational education offerings internationally while maintaining a high-quality and engaging user experience for teachers, students, and mentors. Existing processes are complex and often paper-based, creating administrative burdens and hindering efficient delivery of BTEC programs in new markets. The need is to streamline workflows, provide consistent guidance, and enhance the overall user journey across a diverse global ecosystem.
