Open positions

We can't solve education's most wicked problems if we only view them from one perspective.

At WGU Labs, we believe that each individual is an expert in their own experience. In every project, we strive to design and research with learners, not just for them. We want this user-centered focus to extend beyond our work into the ways we build our team. It’s important to us that our team includes individuals with different strengths, viewpoints, skills, and backgrounds.



But we know that bringing together multiple perspectives is not enough; we must continually work to build an inclusive and welcoming culture where our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion guides all that we do. This is why we seek to apply an inclusive, equity-oriented lens to every investment, hiring decision, and aspect of our work. Our wicked problems framework grounds us as we focus on the systemic issues we believe must be addressed to enable equitable access.
