UT CECS Annual Career Catalyst Sponsorship

Career Catalyst, hosted annually by the College of Emerging & Collaborative Studies (CECS), is an opportunity for industry partners to connect with CECS and one another to discuss challenges and opportunities in the emerging workforce. Since it’s inception in December 2023, Career Catalyst has seen significant growth. CECS welcomed 50 professionals to our inaugural event with more than 100 professionals attending the event in Spring 2024. We anticipate welcoming 200+ industry partners to our Spring 2025 event on April 10, 2025 from 1-5 p.m., as well as a panel of industry experts. A follow up publication will be provided to attendees. As Career Catalyst continues to grow and evolve, CECS is seeking your support to help us continue to deliver an engaging and impactful experience.

By sponsoring Career Catalyst, your organization plays a vital role in shaping tomorrow’s workforce. The funds raised to support Career Catalyst will go to student success programs like the RISE student mentor program and the Career Pathways certificate program. These programs have been designed with the input of our industry partners to ensure that we achieve our mission of preparing our students for their future careers.
