Case Study: Nelnet achieves higher employee engagement and cost-effective training with OpenSesame

Nelnet, Inc. embraces OpenSesame elearning solution to build employee engagement

Nelnet, Inc., a Lincoln, Nebraska–based education financial services company with more than 4,500 employees, wanted to broaden professional development opportunities while reining in elearning costs after finding its previous vendor too expensive. The challenge was to deliver targeted, career‑focused training that met employee needs without exceeding corporate budget constraints.

Nelnet implemented OpenSesame’s flexible, pay‑per‑course monthly licensing (with caps) and SCORM content that integrates into its branded LMS portal, backed by responsive vendor support. This approach gave Nelnet access to hundreds of courses for leadership, time management, coaching, and more, producing budgetable, scalable training, higher employee engagement and performance, and a foundation for a future Nelnet University to help reduce turnover.
