Since 2013, Catapult Solutions Group has strived to be the very best staffing firm it can be. While it started out small, it has since grown to become a top staffing firm, winning multiple awards between 2021 and 2022, including being named one of the fastest growing firms in the USA.

On this episode of Hire Education, to celebrate ten years of Catapult Solutions Group, CEO & Founder Patrick Burke sat down with two of his co-workers—Chief Delivery Office Mitch Blackwell and VP of Delivery (as well as Founder) Chris Burke—to talk about this monumental achievement for the company. Patrick begins by saying “Chris and I, and a bunch of others, wanted to start our own company and do it our way” before going into the story of how the company came to be in San Antonio, TX. While it took some time to nail down what exactly they wanted to focus on, they eventually got there, becoming bigger than they ever expected to be.

The trio also discuss:

  1.  The difficulty of starting a new business (and keeping the lights on).
  2. Stories of moments and events that occurred in those first ten years.
  3. The many employees who have come and gone.

While spending a lot of time telling stories, Chris also wants to make clear just how much has changed in the last decade, and how large Catapult Solutions Group has become. “What I realize today sitting here…it’s bigger than all of us,” says Patrick. This is bigger than Chris, and Mitch, and myself. There’s a huge company out there with seventy-five to a hundred employees we have, we have people intentionally in Europe, and so it feels really good to see something that’s much bigger than who we are.”

After standardizing AV, UAMS can turn a classroom over in five days

After standardizing AV, UAMS can turn a classroom over in five days

UAMS found 80% of past classroom design requests were identical, so it built one scalable AV equipment list. Rooms now turn over in five days, and installs can run year-round. At URI, staff saw no support calls in the first week after upgrades, and both URI and Brandeis describe benefits like remote fixes and keeping fewer spare parts on hand.

  • 01At UAMS, the classroom standard was already sitting in the request history: 80% of past room designs were identical. Counting matches in old requests is a cheap first test for any campus.
  • 02A five-day room turnover means AV installs can run all year, because a class can usually move rooms for a week. Summer stops being the only install window.
  • 03A standard room can still use displays from three different brands. Consistency comes from the layout, the wiring and the controls.

More than two-thirds don’t meaningfully engage with career services—why existing resources go unused

More than two-thirds don’t meaningfully engage with career services—why existing resources go unused

More than two-thirds of college students don't use career services despite most schools already investing in job boards, resume builders, and employer networks. uConnect's platform addresses the problem not by creating new tools but by integrating existing campus resources into a centralized hub and using historical outcome data to guide each student to relevant resources.

  • 01Two-thirds of students don't meaningfully engage with existing career services at their colleges
  • 02Career services sits as an opt-in student service rather than core infrastructure, leaving most resources unused while schools pay for them anyway
  • 03uConnect uses each school's own outcome data to create personalized pathways, showing students what courses, internships, and connections led peers with similar backgrounds to successful outcomes

School districts wait until 2027 to tap DOE's $100 million energy program

School districts wait until 2027 to tap DOE's $100 million energy program

The U.S. Department of Energy's $100 million A+STEPS school energy program funds four to eight regional hubs before any district gets help. Coalition bids for hubs are due Jan. 15, 2027. Districts, eligible for up to $250,000 in early upgrades, enter through a separate process with selections expected in fall 2027.

  • 01The first deadline in DOE's $100 million school energy program, Jan. 15, 2027, belongs to the engineering firms, utilities and universities bidding to run regional hubs; districts won't be selected until fall 2027.
  • 02A single round of four to eight hubs at $2 million to $5 million each would commit roughly $8 million to $40 million, well under the $100 million ceiling, which points to multiple rounds.
  • 03For a district facing an equipment replacement this budget year, A+STEPS is a planning tool on a 2027 calendar; its value is a financeable project plan more than the $250,000 early-work cap.
