Private Equity Interest in the Education and Training Sector
There are a number of private equity firms that focus exclusively, or to a significant degree, on the education sector. The sector itself is often very broadly defined, including:
- Early childhood education
- K-12 education
- Post-secondary education and for-profit colleges, universities ,and trade schools
- Corporate Training and leadership development
- Lifelong learning
- Test preparation
- Testing and assessment tools
- Instructional materials
- Education-related publishing
- Education-related technology
The reason for so much private equity interest in this sector is that it is often non-cyclical (with the exception of corporate training), and provides significant recurring revenue and stable cash flows. Some of the private equity firms that are active in this sector include:
- Education Growth Partners
- Epic Partners
- Renovus Capital
- Sterling Partners
- Prospect Partners
- Providence Equity
