A Bold Vision for the Future of Learning
Join us on our journey to transform education and close workforce gaps. Learn Collaborate is a high-growth startup poised to deliver both measurable social impact and significant market returns.
The Opportunity
Solving a Critical Market Need
The U.S. economy is undergoing a seismic skills shift: according to the World Economic Forum, 44% of workers’ core skills will change by 2027, while employers continue to struggle with sourcing talent equipped for collaboration, critical thinking, and project execution. Learn Collaborate addresses this gap by uniting AI-driven guidance, project-based learning, and real-world mentorship into a single platform built for equity and scale.
Our approach not only prepares students with the 21st-century skills demanded by today’s job market—it enables schools, community colleges, and employers to collaboratively shape and access a smarter, more diverse talent pipeline. By embedding workforce readiness directly into the learning process, we’re not just closing skills gaps—we’re activating a system for long-term economic mobility and community resilience.
Our Progress and Traction
Validated by Experts
Recognized and funded by the National Science Foundation, Learn Collaborate has been shaped through collaboration with over 500 instructors and 2,000 students, alongside input from cognitive scientists, technologists, and industry mentors. Our AI-powered platform is now entering its pilot phase, advancing toward real-world classroom validation and preparing for scalable implementation across diverse educational and workforce development settings.
Our Unique Advantage
A Platform Built for Impact
Learn Collaborate expands the Collaborative Project-Based Learning (CPBL) model into a responsive, AI-driven platform that equips students to build and demonstrate essential 21st-century skills through real-world collaboration. Rooted in the B~STEM Project, LC empowers learners to take ownership of their development, while giving instructors intuitive tools to manage projects, track progress, and personalize support. At the same time, the platform provides companies with a direct channel to engage emerging talent, contribute to workforce development, and help close the projected gap of over 3.8 million skilled jobs by 2028. By uniting students, educators, and employers around collaborative learning, LC ensures all stakeholders play an active role in preparing the next generation of skilled professionals.
