About Lightwork Enterprise
Founded in 2020 by Gregory and Shannon Collins, Lightwork Enterprise was established to close the gaps in education, entrepreneurship, and workforce development. What began with The After Graduation Plan—a practical career mapping tool for high school students—has grown into a global initiative dedicated to equipping individuals and organizations with innovative tools, training, and strategies to thrive in today’s workforce.
Our expertise spans the development and redesign of curricula, workshop presentations, student workbooks, participant handbooks, and feedback surveys. By producing content that is engaging, accessible, and aligned with real-world workforce demands, we enable our partners to deliver more effective, impactful training experiences. This work is central to our mission: to empower individuals with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to succeed in today’s evolving labor market.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower organizations with transformative solutions that elevate workforce readiness and drive long-term development. We partner with workforce development providers, educational institutions, and community-based organizations to deliver innovative technology, publishing, and instructional services that prepare individuals for success in an ever-evolving job market.
We aim to catalyze career growth, economic mobility , and organizational impact by equipping both individuals and institutions with the tools, resources, and strategies needed to thrive, not just survive, in today’s workforce. Whether it’s building curriculum that resonates with real-world demands, designing engaging learning materials, or streamlining training through digital platforms, we ensure our partners are always one step ahead.

Our Work
Entreprenurial Learning
In the dynamic world of entrepreneurship, university innovation centers are pivotal in developing the next generation of founders. However, limited resources, mentorship, and access to global networks often hinder success. At Lightwork Enterprise, we believe these centers should be empowered—not overwhelmed. Our leadership has partnered with the National Science Foundation’s I-Corps program at top institutions including Cornell University, Princeton University, and Arizona State University, supporting over 200 startups on their path to commercialization through proven customer discovery and lean startup methodologies.
AspireCTE Software
In K–12 education, we are the creators of AspireCTE, a cloud-based platform designed to modernize Career and Technical Education (CTE). AspireCTE facilitates communication and alignment between students, educators, and industry leaders, helping young learners graduate with a clear plan and career direction. The platform is a key part of our global mission to strengthen education-to-career pipelines across diverse communities.
Publishing Services
We provide a range of publishing services that support workforce development providers in delivering high-impact educational and training programs. Our services include the development and redesign of curricula, workshop presentations, student workbooks, participant handbooks, and surveys. By creating engaging, accessible, and relevant materials, we help our partners enhance their program effectiveness and better serve their participants. This work is a key part of our mission to empower individuals with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to succeed in today’s workforce.
