Hobsons Mission Statement

Our Company

Hobsons provides solutions for education professionals in high schools and colleges. Our products help students along the entire education lifecycle. We have three divisions that do this:

  • Our K12 division, NavianceŽ, provides Web-based solutions to counselors so they can help students make decisions about course, college, and career planning.
  • Our marketing division, IMS, creates printed, online, and multimedia tools for colleges to recruit undergraduate, graduate, and international students.
  • Finally, our technology division, EMT, has Web-based tools that help colleges manage student recruitment, enrollment, and retention. This includes tools like CRM, online applications, social networking, online chats, and more that colleges use to keep students engaged.

Hobsons Global was created in 1974 as an outgrowth of the Careers Research and Advice Centre (CRAC), and is part of the Daily Mail and General Trust plc (DMGT). DMGT is one of the oldest and most successful media organizations internationally, investing in editorial excellence to become one of the most successful information providers in the world. With more than 30 years of experience focused on education, Hobsons empowers education professionals with a suite of cross-media solutions, strong partnerships, and quality customer service.

Why Hobsons?

At Hobsons, we know we're different, but it's those unique qualities, like the following, that allow us to thrive.

  • End-to-end services - Only Hobsons offers solutions throughout the entire education lifecycle, providing resources for primary schools through post-graduate programs—and for those students who will move directly into a career outside of education.A
  • Focused on education - Hobsons' sole focus is to create solutions that meet the needs of education professionals. We don't merely understand the needs within high schools and colleges/universities - we take that to the next level to develop leading, customized products to satisfy those needs.
  • Providing personal connections...on a global scale - With offices serving the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific, Hobsons' client volume and market share truly make us a global leader in solutions for education. Yet, our service approach of personal attention and client engagement ensures that every client has an individual connection with our growing business.
  • Key partnerships with educational leaders - Hobsons holds unique partnerships in education that no other organization has. These affiliations with reputable industry organizations allow schools to connect with students that they wouldn't otherwise be able to reach and for students to receive information and tools that best meet their interests.
