A catalyst for accelerating innovation in career-connected learning.

Career-connected learning bridges the gap between student interests and industry needs, introducing young people to fulfilling pathways that connect passions to career success. The ultimate goal of career-connected learning is to increase young people’s agency — defined as the feeling of being in control of your actions and goals — to pursue meaningful and fulfilling education and career pathways.

That’s where Catalyze comes in. We help launch and support ambitious programs that provide young people with the relevant skills necessary for the jobs they want in a pathway that works for their unique needs.

We accelerate innovation in career-connected learning.

Since 2021, Catalyze has awarded more than $14 million to over 60 organizations through national and regional challenges, with a positive impact on more than 65,000 learners. The Catalyze community works across the United States to plan, pilot and implement solutions that provide students with career-connected learning opportunities.

More than any generation before them, today’s young people will face a nonlinear path throughout their career journeys. Career-connected learning prepares young people for this dynamic cycle by helping them gain deeper insights into their own strengths, interests and aspirations — in turn, allowing them to continuously refine their capabilities, develop high agency and adapt to evolving industry demands.
