  • ALISON provides free online interactive education to help people acquire basic workplace skills.
  • Right now, a lot of free education is thrown online without a clear sense of how it will help people prepare themselves for employment.
  • The decision to make everything on ALISON free remains the key factor that distinguishes the site from others of its type, and makes it globally valuable.
