Job Description

Goal Beyond is a non-profit organization, founded in 2021 and based in San Diego, CA, with a mission to create the ecosystem enabling all learners to access a quality education and employers to source talent in a rapidly evolving labor market. Our strategy focuses on four core themes to empower learners along the entire continuum of their academic and professional paths.
  • The Beyond 9-12 program is geared towards high school students who are charting out their collegiate or vocational pathway and who require tools and resources to demystify and support the process (e.g., FAFSA completion, scholarships, financial planning, etc.).
  • The Beyond Higher Education program is centered on the transition from academics to the professional world with CTE certification, workforce upskilling training, and scholarships.
  • The Beyond Restart program is designed for adult learners who need a fresh start – whether that is returning to school (e.g., stranded credits, financing support, etc.), changing career paths, or repairing their credit profile to build a path towards financial solvency and growth through our economic mobility initiatives.
  • The Beyond Talk program is about activating the broader higher education ecosystem through our own research and collaborative efforts with our affiliated partners, engaging in relevant forums and conferences to increase visibility of our work and relevant partnerships, as well as advocating for applicable policy reforms aimed at increasing access and equity for all learners.
