Global Ready Career Pathways

What work do we support?

This grantmaking category supports strategic, field-building efforts that help Career and Technical Education programs strengthen their capacity to integrate global competence and global learning into policy, teaching, and student experiences. Funded projects should address clear gaps in educator development, curriculum, partnerships, and work-based learning.

Priority will be given to initiatives that embed global perspectives into CTE organizational missions and institutional strategic plans; support organizational/educator learning and collaboration; integrate global learning into professional development, coursework and co-curricular activities; and expand access to virtual, local, and international work-based learning opportunities.

Building on the foundation’s existing investments, this category extends global learning into career pathways and workforce preparation. Emphasis is placed on practical, scalable approaches that can be sustained beyond the grant period and shared across institutions.
