About Andrew Jordan

I am a passionate strategist and seasoned entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience. My work has been mostly focused around the education industry, such as the extreme needs of international students. I have worked with my team to design and develop academic solutions, and partnered with various institutions in Canada and abroad. Each project required years of work and extensive research across multiple disciplines in order to create results.I take a generalist approach to learning and planning. My experience also includes:- Legal research (Reading thousands of pages of several codes of law (i.e. BC Human Rights Code, case law, Charter rights) - Legal defense strategy (including the creation of a strategy to defend student housing from illegal and overzealous bylaw enforcement by municipality and strata)The Thinkable Group is an EdTech spin-off from the work our team has been performing since 2003. Back then (working as CIESS, an international education recruitment centre) we created unique study-work programs in partnership with Arbutus College. We created those programs having in mind the problems crippling international students (such as English level, adaptation to a new country, immigration, financial challenges, Canadian work experience) and their aspirations to have a better future.Our mission is to make an impact in the industry that will bring about the new era of higher education while helping address the bursting student debt crisis.

Andrew Jordan Work Experience Details
  • The Thinkable Group
    President
    The Thinkable Group Nov 2018 - Present
    Vancouver, Canada Area
    The Thinkable Group is an EdTech spin-off from the work our team has been performing since 2003. Back then (working as CIESS, an international education recruitment centre) we created unique study-work programs in partnership with Arbutus College.In 2009, we integrated a business incubator into a post-graduate program to create relevant work experience for students, in partnership with SSDC (now Acsenda School of Management). This program helped students integrate their skills and experience into the in-house education startup company, giving them Canadian work experience. Realizing that a professional English level was essential for the greater success of international students, we developed a high-speed English program to help them acquire close to native English skills: the ENL program (English as a Native Language).We also created GVTI (Global Venture & Technology Institute), a regulation exempt not-for-profit school, to work with universities and degree-granting schools to integrate our innovation and work-related courses into their approved curriculum. Our aim was the development of intrapreneurial and entrepreneurial skills of students, enabling them to successfully start new companies or integrate into existing ones. Over half of the current long term study-work programs offered by private colleges in British Columbia were created based on our partnerships (2014 PCTIA program database). We are now developing a universal accelerated learning platform, so that students can achieve a bachelor's degree in one year instead of four. This program aims to attract high performance, intelligent and highly motivated people interested in making better use of their time, financial resources and abilities, to stand out as “knowledge workers of the future” to employers or to become entrepreneurs.
