SHIPHT: Advancing Opportunity in Career & Technical Education & Entrepreneurship

SHIPHT is here, and we are activating the next generation of leaders—especially low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities—through Career & Technical Education (CTE) and business pathways to prepare them for the critical roles of today and tomorrow.

​

Imagine a world where career readiness leaders and educators don’t just design programs for students, but with them—co-creating programming, policies, and expectations alongside the very individuals they seek to serve. By centering the voices of those who have historically faced systemic barriers, we can build sustainable solutions that remove obstacles and create true access to opportunity.

​

Equity in CTE means ensuring that ALL students—regardless of socioeconomic status, background, or ability—have access to quality instruction, resources, and hands-on experiences that propel them toward college, career, and economic mobility. By dismantling barriers to education and workforce training, we empower students to graduate with confidence and transition successfully into the workforce, higher education, or military service.

 

SHIPHT IS ON A MISSION.

We are committed to equipping underrepresented and marginalized students with the tools they need to thrive in career technical education & entrepreneurship. Through hands-on, interactive learning, mentorship, and workforce development, SHIPHT is building strong public-private partnerships that create direct pathways to economic independence and career success.

Together, we are transforming the future of work—one student at a time. Join us in shaping a future where opportunity is truly accessible for all.
