Leading provider of free virtual work-based learning experiences for students, Springpod, has secured a $2.5 million strategic investment from American Student Assistance (ASA) to support its expansion in the US.

Springpod partners with universities and employers to provide students with free access to online work-based learning experiences, helping them explore and prepare for future careers. With over 700,000 students having already benefited from Springpod’s programs—22% of whom are eligible for free school meals, 55% from minority backgrounds, and 60% female—the platform ensures equitable access to career readiness opportunities with leading employers and universities.

Now with its US expansion, Springpod is better positioned to provide impactful work-based learning solutions at scale. The company’s network includes more than 100 partners, including Airbus, Amazon, Siemens, Meta, JLL, and Barclays. ASA’s strategic investment will fuel Springpod’s U.S. expansion, positioning it to support American students and young people through its innovative digital offerings.
