International opportunities

Pearson has operations in over 60 countries around the world and we are proud of the contribution that our services in education, entertainment, testing, and comment and analysis make in helping emerging economies sustain a workforce for their commercial success.

As an international company, we can offer our people opportunities in different markets, but we also know that it takes a lot of courage and coordination to go to live and work in a different part of the world. That’s why we created NewDirections – a programme that matches short term business opportunities in different countries with people who want to experience working and living in a different place.

So far, we have helped over 150 people take on a secondment or a project of less than six months in another part of the world. We will continue to encourage colleagues to work in our emerging markets where we can share the experience from our established markets, and bring home new ideas too.
