Why Catalyst GEM
Education that fits
working lives.
For working adults, further education needs to fit around employment, family responsibilities, and available budgets. For employers, it needs to build capabilities that matter to the business.
John’s experience in international education and the Caribbean informs how Catalyst GEM approaches both needs. His expertise spans online enrollment strategy, regional market development, and university and employer partnerships.
Our purpose is to expand access to relevant, accredited online education by helping university partners understand the market and supporting learners through the enrollment process.
