ConnectED is thrilled to partner with Karma Automotive to launch the Clean Transportation Technology Collaborative (CTTC)—a groundbreaking initiative aimed at preparing Southern California youth for careers in STEM and the evolving transportation sector.

The CTTC will bridge industry and education by piloting software-defined vehicle architecture and expanding access to training on Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) technology, infrastructure, and sustainability. By engaging students—especially those from underrepresented communities—with cutting-edge vehicles and emerging technologies, this initiative will inspire the next generation of transportation innovators.

This exciting partnership was announced on March 20 at the Create Karma event as part of Karma’s commitment to community impact. To further support ConnectED, Karma Automotive is hosting “Pathways to Progress: An Evening Supporting ConnectED” on June 26 at its Irvine, CA headquarters.

We invite you to join us for this special evening, where you’ll have the opportunity to:
Explore Karma’s state-of-the-art vehicles and headquarters
Hear firsthand from students whose lives are being transformed by pathways
Enjoy great food and network with like-minded supporters of STEM education and clean transportation

Don’t miss this chance to be part of the movement shaping the future of pathways work in Southern California and beyond!
