ONTARIO, CA, UNITED STATES, November 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nextskilledge, an international higher education and professional upskilling platform, today announced plans to host its first U.S. Convocation & Global Recognition Ceremony on January 16, 2027, in Ontario, California.

The gathering will mark the organization’s second global convocation, following its inaugural ceremony in May 2026. The event is expected to bring together graduates, doctoral candidates, executive master’s students, and professional learners from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas to celebrate academic achievement and continuing professional development.

The Ontario ceremony represents a milestone in Nextskilledge’s international engagement. Academic leaders, faculty, and representatives from partner universities will be invited to join participants and their families in recognizing their achievements. Institutional participation and attendance remain subject to confirmation.

“This ceremony is about honoring professionals who refused to choose between career progression and academic ambition,” said Abhishek Gupta, Founder and Managing Director of Nextskilledge. “Our learners balance full-time roles, leadership responsibilities, and families while conducting rigorous applied research. Hosting our first U.S. convocation in Southern California underscores our commitment to bringing global recognition directly to our community.”

Nextskilledge connects working professionals with mentor-supported academic pathways, including PhD and Doctor of Business Administration programs, executive MBA programs in artificial intelligence and analytics, and professional technology certifications. Through its university relationships, the platform provides admissions support and academic mentorship for learners pursuing further education alongside their careers.

Expected participants include learners associated with American Management University, Kennedy University, Nobel University, and Dunster Business School. Each institution’s role, any participation by its representatives, and the credentials represented by attending learners will be confirmed in the event program. References to these institutions do not constitute confirmation of their attendance or involvement in the ceremony.

The planned program includes keynote addresses and recognition of academic achievements. Recognition at the event is distinct from the awarding of academic degrees, which remains the responsibility of the respective awarding institutions.
