More layoffs are coming at the Educational Testing Service (ETS). According to a WARN notice published yesterday by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, 62 employees will be let go in July of this year. This comes as ETS seeks to rebrand itself as a “global education and talent solutions” organization. It also comes about one year to the day following the announcement of ETS’s partnership with the Carnegie Institution to “transform the educational pillars they built.”
Update: In late May, a WARN notice for an additional 7 layoffs at ETS was posted. Those jobs will be eliminated in late August and Early September.
Regular readers will note that in late 2023, ETS eliminated about six percent of its total workforce, or about 150 individuals.
I believe this is the sixth round of layoffs and departures at ETS since 2020.
I do not know if employees in other states will be impacted by layoffs at this time.
