The Workforce Infrastructure Backbone for CTE Systems
— Powered by Education Media
The Landscape Has Shifted
Career Technical Education is no longer judged by enrollment or activity — it’s measured by employment, placement, wage gains, and sustained industry partnerships.
Advisory boards and regional consortia were designed for coordination.
Today’s CTE requires execution.
That’s where Launch comes in.
What Launch Is
Launch by Education Media is a workforce infrastructure platform built to power CTE systems from learning to placement — and beyond.
We help states, workforce boards, and districts:
- Track student progress through training, internship, and employment
- Build and manage employer pipelines
- Standardize pathway delivery across institutions
- Automate reporting and follow-up monthly/multi-year periods
- Make decisions using evidence — not assumptions
Launch turns fragmented efforts into a connected workforce engine.
Workforce Skills Intelligence Layer (WSIL)
WSIL is a modular intelligence layer built to support Perkins V and WIOA outcome compliance by automating skills validation, placement tracking, and employer engagement reporting. The Workforce Skills Intelligence Layer (WSIL), embedded within the Launch Command Center, enables Perkins- and WIOA-aligned agencies to validate skills, verify placement, and automate outcome reporting without manual follow-up.
How Launch Works
Unify Stakeholders
Districts, colleges, employers, boards, and programs all operate in one connected hub.
Align Pathways to Workforce Demand
Curriculum, apprenticeships, and credentials are structured under a single workforce framework.
Track Every Outcome
Measure completion, placement, wage growth, advancement, and retention in real time.
Automate Communication & Reporting
No more chasing surveys or compiling spreadsheets — everything runs automatically.
Scale Across Regions
Once the system is running, expansion to new counties, districts, or states becomes effortless.
From Conversations to Systems
Legacy intermediaries organize conversations.
Launch operationalizes systems.
Instead of loose partner networks, we deliver:
| Old Model | Launch Model |
|---|---|
| Advisory calls | Employer pipelines with active tracking |
| Student rosters | Longitudinal placement dashboards |
| “Partner lists” | Verified engagement & outcome data |
We don’t just convene stakeholders — we connect them.
