“At Guild we are fortunate to be in a position that enables us to make this pledge to our employees and our community. However, we know that many other businesses don’t have the same privilege and ability to do the same. So, while we urge those in a similar position to make this pledge, we recognize and understand that many organizations must make difficult decisions guided by their own situations,” said Suzanne Stoller, Chief People Officer at Guild Education. “Our commitment to supporting America’s workforce has never been stronger, which is why we will be partnering with leading universities and learning providers to provide an innovative solution to assist furloughed and laid off workers in this time of need.”
