Idaho Falls, Idaho – Stukent®, a leading edtech company known for its innovative Simternships™ and up-to-date courseware, proudly announces its inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list for the seventh consecutive year. The Inc. 5000 list ranks the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States, based on their revenue growth over a three-year period.
“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” said Inc. editor-in-chief, Mike Hofman. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”
Jim Holm, CEO of Stukent, shared his enthusiasm for this milestone: “Our consistent presence on the Inc. 5000 list reflects our unwavering commitment to advancing education through cutting-edge technology and hands-on learning experiences. It’s an honor to be recognized alongside so many pioneering companies.”
Stukent has made significant strides since its inception in 2014. The company’s mission is to support educators in preparing students for the dynamic professional world through practical, real-world learning experiences. This past school year, Stukent passed a significant milestone of having over 1 million students use the Stukent platform.
Holm highlighted the importance of continuous innovation at Stukent: “We constantly update our courseware to keep pace with industry changes and technological advancements. Our recent updates include AI integrations and expanded content to better prepare students for the future.”
Stukent’s growth is mirrored by its expanding team, which now includes over 150 employees, with 66% based in Idaho. The company’s headquarters in Idaho Falls remains a hub of creativity and development.
A significant factor in Stukent’s success is its flagship product: Simternships. These simulations place students in entry-level roles, allowing them to perform tasks such as managing budgets, creating social media posts, and recording journal entries. This experiential learning approach equips students with the practical skills needed to excel in their careers.
Looking ahead, Stukent is excited about expanding its educational materials to include AI applications in professional careers and enhancing its platform to create even more realistic and impactful learning experiences. “The future is bright for Stukent,” Holm said. “We’re just beginning to explore the potential of our offerings in areas like business, communication, and accounting, and we’re eager to continue providing valuable resources for educators and students alike.”
