Perks of Working for Intermountain

PEAK is an education resource provided to eligible caregivers in partnership with InStride , a global provider of enterprise education programs. Through PEAK, Intermountain offers tuition coverage for more than 100 online learning options, including undergraduate studies, professional courses and certifications, high school diplomas, and English language learning.
