What previous KEVITE award-winners have said:

The KEVite awards show me that KEV Group really is interested in retaining talent, really showing that people who do put the effort in are recognized within the company… KEV is saying, well, really everyone in the company is a star player or has the potential to be a star player and they want to recognize that.

Seann Gracie Solutions Engineer

I have never seen at any other company… a recognition program quite like this… The fact that it’s peer-nominated is also incredibly flattering. That my colleagues, who are all incredible KEVites in their own right, would recognize me in this way.

Our Stories

Hear From Employees

I believe in KEV and what we have to offer school districts and it
makes me feel like I am making a tiny difference to the districts that
we serve.

Janet Gregory

I feel very lucky to work for a company that gives me the trust and
freedom to be myself and have big ideas. It is ok to fail, as long as we
learn. I appreciate the rigor with which we hold ourselves accountable.
I enjoy and actively learn from an ELT that is present and involved. I
feel in control of my professional growth, people are recognized for
their hard work and impact, not their tenure.

Kait Edge

I’ve really enjoyed working with a team of smart, collaborative people
who are committed to doing good work. It’s also been rewarding to
be part of a company that’s evolving and growing, which brings new
challenges and opportunities to learn.

Jacynta Burgess- Garbutt

I enjoy the culture and the shared purpose. We are all driving to the
same goal. I feel my leader is supportive, and it creates space where
I feel empowered to contribute and grow. I love the people I am
surrounded by, smart, driven teammates who also care deeply about
their mission and each other. It is exciting!

Monica White

The people – people really care about what they are doing and what
we are doing as a company. As well, the openness and willingness of
everyone to communicate and collaborate

Melanie Wyndowe

Beyond the job descriptions and benefits, there’s a strong sense of
community here. People are approachable, leadership is accessible,
and there’s a real emphasis on personal and professional growth. It’s
a place where your ideas are valued, and you’re encouraged to take
initiative.

Freda Stephenson

KEV is a special place. While we have the makings of your typical entrepreneurial SaaS organization, people don’t join and stay with us because of our free snacks and foosball table. Our employer value proposition runs much deeper than that. The folks who thrive at KEV are those who search for meaning in their work, hold themselves to a high standard, and understand the value of preserving our 25 year legacy while also driving innovation and change. Not only does the work we do have a meaningful impact on the K-12 community, but as a KEVite you have the opportunity to see your work come to life in real-time. No red tape, no bureaucracy – just good people working hard to deliver for our clients, support or peers, and nurture and grow our careers. If this resonates with you, we look forward to connecting.
