OnCourse Learning listed among Inc. 5000 fastest growing companies

WAUKESHA, Wis. - Oct. 14, 2015 - PRLog -- Inc. magazine has ranked OnCourse Learning No. 4811 on its 34th annual Inc. 5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at one of the most important segments of the economy — America’s independent entrepreneurs. Well-known companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow and many others gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000.

This is the third year that OnCourse Learning has made the Inc. 5000 list. “This is definitely something to celebrate,” said OnCourse Learning President and CEO Patrick Sheahan. “It’s a testament to the tremendous hard work and commitment from each and every employee, and to the loyalty of our satisfied partners and customers.”

This year’s Inc. 5000 list was unveiled online at Inc.com, and the top 500 companies were featured in the September issue of Inc. Magazine. It is the most competitive crop in the list’s history, as the average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 490%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $205 billion, generating 647,000 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.

"The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident."

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from Oct. 21-23, 2015, in Orlando. Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as Marcus Lemonis, host of the CNBC show “The Profit,” Robert Herjavec, one of the main "sharks" on ABC-TV’s “Shark Tank,” KIND Founder and CEO Daniel Lubetzky, and Co-Founder of Goodshop.com JJ Ramberg.
