We bring together industry-leading tech companies with higher education institutions to build and deliver education programs that prepare learners for the jobs of tomorrow. Pathstream was borne out of the observation that nearly all jobs increasingly require digital skills, specifically “platform-centric” skills on software platforms such as Adobe, Unity, Autodesk, Facebook Ads, etc. However, these high power, in-demand software platforms are hard to learn through the passive, video-based instructional approach of most online learning. Our web-based platform streams our tech partner's high-powered software and allows students to dive right into building their skills. We empower a learn-by-doing approach and eliminate the frustration of downloading and configuring new software that often pushes new learners away. We maximize professional and technical preparation by delivering foundational content within the practical, project-based context of a simulated work environment. As a result, students graduate with the skills they need to be desirable in the job market and begin adding value from their first day of hire. Pathstream’s learners not only create a portfolio of projects that demonstrates their skills, but also ultimately earn certifications from the higher ed institution as well as the relevant software platform company, ensuring their efforts translate into actual career mobility.

When kids learn to read on time their opportunities in school and life improve profoundly. If a child cannot read by the time they are in third grade, they are four times less likely to graduate high school.* In 2022, only 33% of U.S. fourth graders and 31% of eighth graders were reading at grade level (National Assessment of Educational Progress reading assessment scores). Ignite Reading is on a mission to fix this. Ignite Reading delivers one-to-one virtual tutoring that teaches K-8th graders the foundational skills they need to become confident, independent readers. We pair developing readers with expert reading tutors who provide daily, 15-minute, Science of Reading-based instruction that rapidly closes decoding gaps. Students across all demographics achieve the same outstanding results–an average of 2.4 weeks of reading skills growth per week of instruction–including students with IEPs, multilingual learners, students of color and those receiving free or reduced-price lunch. By ensuring all students master the foundational skills to fluently read any word, Ignite Reading empowers them to move forward and unlock everything school and life have to offer. "Ignite Reading is one of the most, if not the most, successful interventions we have implemented in our district. The student results and program design are indisputable." - Claudia Salvestrin, Assistant Superintendent, Red Bluff Union Elementary School District, CA
