About Our Work

At Connect the Work, our mission is to make career-connected learning a reality for every student, in every classroom. We build the capacity of educators, schools, districts, and organizations to integrate career literacy into daily learning through:


  • Certification pathways for educators
  • School and district planning and support
  • Collaborative learning communities
  • Leadership development and keynotes
  • Custom nonprofit partnerships


By equipping educators with the tools and frameworks they need, we ensure career readiness isn't an afterthought but is woven into the fabric of everyday education.
