Catalyst Center

Yesterday, we celebrated a major milestone for the Catalyst for Wellness in Community (CWC) Apprenticeship Program… the graduation of our inaugural cohort! 🎓🎉

Three years ago, our first apprentices began an earn-and-learn journey combining paid on-the-job experience, education, mentorship, and professional development as they built careers in behavioral health.

We came together at @chabot_college to recognize how far they’ve come.

This milestone belongs not only to our graduates, but to the employers, educators, mentors, partners, families, and supporters who have helped make their journeys possible.

To our first CWC graduates: congratulations! We are incredibly proud of what you’ve accomplished… and excited to see where you go next. ❤️

Tomorrow, we’re celebrating a major milestone! 🎓

Three years ago, the inaugural cohort of our Apprenticeship Program began their journey. Now, as apprentices complete the program throughout 2026, we’re bringing the cohort together to celebrate just how far they’ve come.

The CWC Apprenticeship Program creates earn-and-learn pathways into behavioral health careers, combining paid on-the-job experience, education, mentorship, and professional development.

The program expands access to the field (including for people with lived experience and those from nontraditional educational backgrounds) while strengthening California’s behavioral health workforce.

Congratulations to our 2026 graduates! We can’t wait to celebrate you. 🎉
