Career launch pad

Your career, future-ready and full of possibilities

The world of work is changing fast, with the number of full-time jobs in decline. However, fractional work is booming, and that is a big new opportunity.

Catapult helps you embrace this new world, building a flexible, future-proof portfolio career and network in just 90 days, backed by a well-connected and supportive community.

What is a portfolio career?

A portfolio career is a mix of roles, projects and income streams that gives you more freedom and flexibility. Instead of relying on a single job, you generate income in multiple ways. It’s not a fallback – it’s a smarter, more resilient way to work.

Synonyms: independent professional, solopreneur, squiggly careerist, fractional exec, side hustler

Make money lots of different ways

Blend passion, expertise and purpose

Build a career that fuels the life you want

I really enjoyed TPC's Catapult Course as I embark on a new career journey and way of working. The weekly content was not only useful but also held me accountable and helped grow my network. Fractional Fred is now a go!
