Case Study: GPS Education Partners advances professional development and speeds reporting with Blackbaud University (Blackbaud)

GPS Education Partners - Customer Case Study

GPS Education Partners is a Wisconsin nonprofit that runs manufacturing-specific youth apprenticeships to prepare students for technical careers and support local industry. Faced with ambitious goals for enrollment, hiring, and fundraising, GPS needed to scale staff skills across multiple Blackbaud systems so employees could manage growth and improve program outcomes.

GPS adopted a Blackbaud University Learn (later Learn Everything) subscription andimplemented role-based training matrices so every employee and manager has a clear professional development path. The result: faster, more consistent onboarding, fewer internal dependencies, stronger staff proficiency, and more accurate reporting for the board—enabling GPS to better serve students and partner manufacturers.
