Conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, the program recognizes the most innovative companies and solutions shaping the future of education technology. To us, enhanced curriculum means mentorship, career readiness, and the infrastructure that makes experiential learning measurable from day one and prepares practitioners to strengthen the communities they serve. Dawn Hiles PeopleGrove Selected from more than 3,000 nominations globally, the award recognizes PeopleGrove's comprehensive platform, CORE by PeopleGrove. The platform is designed to help colleges and universities manage experiential and clinical education, assess competencies, strengthen accreditation readiness, and demonstrate measurable learner and program outcomes. "When we think about enhanced curriculum, we think beyond the classroom," said Dawn Hiles, CEO of PeopleGrove. "We think about the nursing student stepping into a hospital for a clinical rotation, the future teacher leading a classroom, or the counseling student working directly with clients. Those moments don't just build a resume - they build the confidence and competence students carry into their first job and every job after. To us, enhanced curriculum means mentorship, career readiness, and the infrastructure that makes experiential learning measurable from day one and prepares practitioners to strengthen the communities they serve." Experiential learning has always been foundational to student success, but the expectations around how programs manage, measure, and report on it have grown considerably. PeopleGrove provides the infrastructure that institutions need to coordinate these experiences at scale while ensuring learning outcomes remain measurable and aligned to program goals. Recent innovation within PeopleGrove's CORE platform has focused on helping programs better measure and demonstrate outcomes through enhanced competency mapping, AI-assisted curriculum gap analysis, and real-time accreditation reporting.
