Fidelis Education is developing an innovative software platform that enables students, faculty, and staff to interact meaningfully outside the classroom. The product was built initially to address military-to-civilian career transition challenges and to support working adult learners in completing online degrees. Fidelis says its interactive tools help both civilian and military students engage more effectively with peers, with the goal of improving student satisfaction and degree completion. The company is working with university partners to validate its tools across different student populations. In partnership with American Public Education, Fidelis plans to develop the platform as a service for a broad set of educational organizations. The article discloses a $4 million minority investment from American Public Education; no operating metrics for Fidelis were provided.
