About College Board

College Board is a mission-driven, not-for-profit organization that aims to clear a path for all students to own their futures. We focus on expanding access to higher education and helping students develop the skills they need for college and career readiness. We serve 7 million students annually– a reach unparalleled in a fragmented sector.

At a moment when AI is transforming education and work, College Board is investing in work-based learning as a critical pathway for students to build durable skills — collaboration, communication, and problem solving — that technology cannot replace.

College Board acquired District C and its flagship program, Teamship, its first programmatic acquisition in over 20 years (learn more here).This acquisition reflects College Board’s commitment to exploring bold ideas that bridge K–12, higher education, and career, complementing time-tested programs like AP and SAT.

We are building a team to scale the Teamship program so more students have access to high-quality work-based learning.

About Teamship

· Hands-on learning with employers and experiences that build the skills technology can’t replace
· World-class professional learning to support educators
· Employer partnership model that makes it simpler to engage with high schools
· Better access for more students with program delivery through schools
To learn more, listen to an interview with the Co-founder and Teamship team leader, Dan Gonzalez, on The Education Equation podcast with College Board President, Jeremy Singer (recorded before the acquisition).
