Our Training Has Helped Professors 

Close the Opportunity Gap

Students taught by Catch The Next-trained faculty earn more degrees and spend less on their education.

“Adequate” Instruction Hurts Students

Most faculty members care about the success of all of their students. In fact, they care A LOT.

Still, many professors struggle with engagement which means not all students are equally reached.

If you want to close the opportunity gap for good, while increasing graduation rates, then being adequate is not enough.

Yet every year, colleges invest in professional trainings that do not yield results.

We have a proven track record. Colleges that use our ASCENDER program have students who earn more two- and four-year degrees and spend two-thirds less on their education than similar populations.

Are you ready to close the gap?
