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.
