The creation of this unique proposition represents an unprecedented disruption in the assessment space. These two organizations are poised to drive the progress of educational and workforce skills assessment by harnessing cutting-edge technology and unmatched research and development capabilities. Together, ETS and PSI stand ready to reshape and enhance the evaluation of human capabilities on a global scale.

"This is an important milestone for ETS as we forge ahead into the workforce development space to become the trusted source to measure, certify and license skills and demonstrate progress," said Amit Sevak, CEO of ETS. "I am proud to welcome Janet Garcia and the entire PSI team to ETS as we work together to power human progress using the most advanced measurement science and technology."

ETS's pioneering research, development and administration of assessments and PSI's extensive presence in credentialing creates a powerful platform to enhance opportunities for advancement across an individual's entire educational and employment lifecycle. With aligned missions to provide equitable access to quality learning, testing, education, and career development opportunities, ETS and PSI's customers stand to benefit from a shared goal to establish more internationally recognized credentials to facilitate the mobility of skilled learners and workers across borders. This enables individuals to showcase their skills and demonstrate the value of their credentials to the world. 

"PSI is thrilled to be joining forces with ETS and believes the fit and potential between the organizations is hugely exciting for our employees, customers, and partners. I am grateful for the incredibly warm welcome Amit Sevak and his team have given us," said Janet Garcia, CEO of PSI. "As two of the world's leading measurement experts in design and delivery, this partnership offers clients and test takers an unrivaled set of capabilities and a combined strength and stability to positively impact millions of individuals throughout their learning and career journeys."

Committed to serving people on every path to success, together ETS and PSI deliver nearly 50 million tests annually across more than 200 countries and territories around the world. Moving forward customers of both organizations can expect new and unique opportunities to meet their needs in validating and upskilling people for the future of work.

PSI, formerly a subsidiary of Lifelong Learner Holdings (LLH), was acquired in a deal supported by several partners. Jones Day acted as legal advisor to ETS. Macquarie Capital acted as financial advisor and Kirkland & Ellis LLP as legal advisor to LLH, PSI and Waud Capital.
