Learn from the Catalyze community

Earlier this year, Catalyze conducted a comprehensive analysis of its Round One and Round Two grantee portfolio and 850 Round Three applications. Our goal was to surface trends and insights about what is working in career-connected learning and where additional opportunities exist to accelerate innovation and learning.

Today, Catalyze announced Round Four of the Catalyze Challenge, which seeks programs with demonstrated success providing learners aged 11-22 with career-connected learning opportunities and pathways that bridge the gap between education and careers. This round of grants will fund organizations that are ready to scale and will focus on two primary themes — career exploration for young adolescents and activating industry partnerships.

Understanding and addressing the complexities of career-connected learning is essential to creating accessible and innovative career pathways for learners.  As one of the nation's largest communities of practice focused on career-connected learning, Catalyze is at the forefront of transforming how learners aged 11-22 engage with education and career opportunities.

Catalyze grantees RevX and WeThrive are championing financial independence and economic mobility by preparing the next generation with financial education and empowering students to make well-informed decisions about their finances.
