Freemium Learning System

The Freemium Learning System is an online educational platform that provides free educational content for high-tech positions.
It includes a library of basic courses and resources that are available to all users at no cost. This platform is offered in partnership with ThriveDX, and is available to students at more than 20 universities in the United States.

The system aims to provide a taste of the educational content in order to attract users, and then convert them into paying customers by offering additional resources, assessments, and advanced features. The free content can be used as a lead generation method to attract potential students and give them an understanding of the system and its offerings.

This way they can evaluate if they want to continue learning with the system or upgrade to the premium plan to gain access to more advanced materials, certifications, or assessments.
