Programs

1. Bridge Program and Apprenticeships: Goal Beyond collaborates with various organizations to offer online and in-person paid experiential and apprenticeship opportunities to high school, college and post college work eligible adults that seek durable and soft skills necessary to enter the workforce and advance once in the workforce. The Goal Beyond bridge program will offer matching of prospective workers ("GB Fellows") with employers via an online platform where the GB Fellows can then complete a short-term collaborative group project and are paid a stipend (between $300 and $500). The Goal Beyond bridge program will not only help prepare GB Fellows for the workforce but will allow both workers and employers to connect and assess whether skills meet the need.

3. Rehabilitation for Delinquent and Defaulted Borrowers: Goal Beyond, through its Economic Mobility Fund, seeks to identify and rehabilitate borrowers with delinquent and or defaulted student loans by acquiring the debt of such borrowers, forgiving any outstanding balances on such loans, and working with such borrowers to repair their credit profile by offering services (directly or through partners) to assist such borrowers to get "back on track". Further, Goal Beyond will conduct research to determine the policies and practices that most impact or lead student loan borrowers to default and the changes that could be made to prevent such defaults in the future. Goal Beyond will raise grant and other program related investment funds to finance the Economic Mobility Fund.

4. Research and Advocacy Programs: Goal Beyond will participate in researching information, data, and statistics regarding post-completion employment, income gains and upward mobility for post-secondary learners of all types. Goal Beyond intends to gather longitudinal data with respect to college and skills training program outcomes
