Greater Phoenix Chamber Foundation: Employer Partnerships & CTE Programs
Greater Phoenix Chamber Foundation is using Catalyze funding to expand ElevateEdAZ’s structured career exploration and work-based learning to seven new high schools in Arizona via meaningful employer partnerships and co-designed CTE programs. They offer hands-on exploration through job shadows, field trips, internships, and direct engagement with industry professionals.
“We need to make sure that all students across the state of Arizona have access to high-wage, high-demand pathways and that they understand the opportunities in their community and throughout the state of Arizona.”
Round Four of the Catalyze Challenge awarded a total of $3.5 million to four organizations to expand career-connected learning opportunities and support meaningful outcomes for learners aged 11-22. These two-year grants focus on career exploration for young adolescents and activating industry partnerships and are expected to positively impact more than 60,000 learners.
