Mission Ascent is an award winning company on a mission to provide access to education for millions of underserved students every year. We believe education is an investment in students’ futures, and we want to empower students of all economic backgrounds and disciplines to maximize the return on that investment.
We embrace a culture of collaboration and ensure every employee is set up for success. Ascent encourages employees to recharge through generous time-off programs and incentive bonuses. For every three years of service, Ascent rewards employees with a vacation bonus and an additional incentive for the employees to spend on themselves. During this time, IT disables account access, including emails, forcing employees to take their well-earned time off.
