FUEL YOUR AMBITION

Catalyst is a career development program designed for high-potential women in STEM

For over ten years, TGC has been a national leader in understanding the unique challenges women in STEM experience.

Since 2022, Catalyst has been helping women grow in their roles and maximize their potential - for themselves and their employer. Over three half-days, women learn how to transform within their role and put their career on a growth path.

If you’re feeling stuck and want to be in the driver’s seat to turn your ambition into high performance, there is no better time to join the Catalyst community!
