In the U.S., a widening gap between academic institutions and employers is undermining national workforce development. Despite increased investment in education, employers report that over 60% of graduates lack the real-world skills needed to succeed in today’s job market. Many students—particularly from underserved communities—struggle to gain access to practical experience, mentorship, and collaborative learning that align with industry expectations. This disconnect fuels underemployment, limits social mobility, and slows economic progress. The challenge is not unique to the U.S. Globally, over 200 million tertiary students face similar barriers. As automation, AI, and evolving industries transform the nature of work, traditional education systems are failing to adapt quickly enough. A 2023 World Economic Forum report predicts that 44% of workers’ core skills will change within five years—yet most institutions still rely on theoretical models and outdated curricula. Learn Collaborate (LC) solves this problem by integrating scalable, AI-powered project-based learning into academic environments. Our platform connects students, educators, and companies through real-world collaboration, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities—bridging the education-to-employment divide both nationally and globally.

LC is an AI-powered digital platform that embeds real-world, project-based learning into academic environments to prepare students for today’s workforce. Designed for flexibility across secondary and higher education, LC enables educators to integrate collaborative, industry-informed projects into their curriculum, giving students hands-on experience, mentorship, and skill development. Through the platform, students can join or initiate projects, form teams, and work through structured, real-world challenges aligned with academic goals. Companies and professionals participate as mentors, providing guidance and feedback while gaining early access to diverse talent. Educators use built-in tools to track progress, assess skills, and adapt instruction in real time. LC uses AI to support role-based collaboration and maps student contributions to both hard and soft skills across a learning continuum. Institutions can cultivate, track, and validate student growth with data-driven insights that reflect real-world performance—not just academic knowledge. This enables more equitable assessments, supports personalized learning pathways, and helps educators and organizations better understand readiness for future work and learning. By merging technology with human-centered design, LC creates a scalable, inclusive ecosystem that equips students with essential skills while helping academic institutions and employers close the education-to-employment gap.

LC serves students, educators, and employers—focusing especially on learners with limited access to real-world learning opportunities and career pathways. Our core users are secondary and postsecondary students, many from historically underserved communities who lack equitable access to mentorship, internships, and skills-based learning. These students often graduate without the practical experience or confidence needed to secure meaningful work, limiting their economic mobility and future stability. LC also supports educators who are under-resourced and seeking tools to integrate workforce-relevant learning into the classroom. For them, LC offers a structured, scalable way to track both hard and soft skills while cultivating student growth through real-world collaboration. By preparing students not only for jobs—but for better-paying, purpose-driven careers—LC’s impact goes beyond individual success. Economic opportunity leads to stronger families, which in turn fosters healthier, more resilient communities. When communities thrive, states thrive. When states thrive, nations prosper. And when nations prosper equitably, so does the world. LC helps learners build the knowledge, skills, and relationships they need to succeed—empowering them to contribute meaningfully to society and break intergenerational cycles of inequity.
