There is no one-size-fits-all pathway into a meaningful career.
Catalyze advances career-connected learning through:
Expanding economic opportunity for all students.
Catalyze’s community of innovators helps young people develop the confidence and agency to navigate their future education and career opportunities through career-connected learning experiences. In the course of our work, Catalyze has identified that the most effective career-connected learning programs foster self-awareness, self-efficacy and career readiness in students.
Having built one of the nation’s largest communities of practice focused on career-connected learning, Catalyze is an innovation engine that moves the field forward — funding organizations that are changing the ways students are introduced to and interact with potential career pathways throughout their educational experience.
By investing in and expanding early access to hands-on career experiences, Catalyze and our community lays the groundwork for brighter, more successful futures for learners of all ages.
