Headline The workforce partner helping universities close the AI skills gap — with employer-aligned certificates they can launch fast.
Description Ziplines partners with 30+ public and regional universities to design, launch, and grow high-quality certificate programs. We handle learning design, practitioner-led instruction, curriculum maintenance, student support, marketing, and enrollment — so institutions can expand access and deepen regional impact without adding headcount.
What makes your product or service stand out? (optional) Helping universities lead on AI — not lag behind. AI is transforming every role, every industry, and every region. But most universities can’t build and launch AI-relevant programs fast enough on their own. Ziplines bridges that gap — partnering with institutions to stand up AI and digital skills certificates in weeks, not years. Every program launches under the university’s brand, with practitioner-led instruction grounded in the tools professionals actually use at work.
An ally, not a vendor. Ziplines works exclusively with public and regional universities — the institutions most responsible for workforce mobility in their communities. We handle the operational complexity — design, delivery, enrollment, and learner support — so universities can move at the speed of employer demand without straining faculty or staff. The institution retains full brand ownership and academic oversight.
Outcomes that speak for themselves. Across 15,000+ learners served, Ziplines consistently delivers: ~80% completion rates, NPS scores of 60+ (rated “excellent”), 93% learner recommendation rates, and 90% of alumni reporting increased career confidence six months after completing a 10-week course. Learners also receive a full year of career support, including coaching, resume workshops, and access to a peer community.
The result is a force multiplier: professionals gain job-ready skills and career confidence, employers access the talent they need, and universities grow sustainable tuition revenue while staying vital to their regions.
