About World Education Services
World Education Services (WES) is a non-profit social enterprise dedicated to supporting the educational, economic, and social inclusion of immigrants, refugees, and international students in the U.S. and Canada. Since its founding by Peace Corps volunteers in 1974, WES has been a leader in the field of international credential evaluation, providing trusted assessments that help millions achieve their academic and career goals. WES conducts over 200,000 evaluations annually, providing individuals with pathways to higher education and employment opportunities worldwide.
At WES, we recognize the challenges faced by our customers, such as navigating the complexities of educational verification in a new country. Our credential evaluations serve as a pivotal solution, making it easier for individuals to have their international qualifications recognized by educational institutions, employers, and professional licensing boards. By offering diverse tools and resources, including the WES iGPA Calculator and the WES Gateway Program, we empower our clients with the information they need to integrate successfully into their new communities. Moreover, through our philanthropic initiatives like the WES Mariam Assefa Fund, we foster social change and create tangible opportunities for those seeking to contribute to the global economy.
