Testimonials

DreamCatcher transcends mere interests, and helps schools truly understand our student's wants, dreams, and desires.

Counselors and parents need more complete information to truly guide every unique learner. DreamCatcher's approach takes into account the entire student holistically.

It is insufficient to measure student success in grades, certificates or degrees. We must redefine the goal of education to truly understand each learner's purpose, and help equip them to fulfill their full potential. DreamCatcher does exactly that.

Dream Catcher is the latest, innovative career exploration platform that really helps a student dig deep into how they view their future after their formal schooling is over and they enter the world of work. Dream Catcher helps students think about not just a career, but their purpose.

Students in San Bernardino County Alternative Education Schools have gained deeper insights into themselves, discovering how their personal interests can align with potential career paths. By working through the modules, they are encouraged to engage in self-reflection, and the process of creating a video resume leaves them feeling enthusiastic and optimistic.

Customer service has been phenomenal. Both phone calls and emails are responded to immediately. Dream Catcher staff is always willing to work with us on ways to incorporate the platform and make the learning experience more meaningful to students.

Dream Catcher provides excellent customer service! The team has helped me tailor the program to the needs of my school, and helped with general questions that are outside of my experience as a teacher new to the content area. The team has been super responsive to questions and needs — I could not ask for better support!

Since its launch, Essential Education has integrated Dream Catcher into our online High School Equivalency and Workforce Readiness programs. Thousands of adults who have been left behind have been able to find their purpose and map out goals to make dramatic changes in their lives. Our students are inspired by the powerful videos and see immediate changes in their lives.

I highly recommend Dream Catcher to all institutions that are looking for a way to engage their students in exploring where their true career passions may lie. Dream Catcher's customer service is exceptional. Every request for help no matter how minor it seems, is addressed quickly and with enthusiasm. The professionalism of all of their employees is exceptional. I truly can't say enough about how wonderful they are to work with.

Having been aware of Steve Ward's innovative program, Dream Catchers, for many years, I have always been supportive and enthusiastic of the opportunities he has provided to students seeking their life's purposes. This program is supported by the words of educational psychologist, Dr. David Yeager when writing: “When teens have a personally important and self-transcendent ‘why’ for learning, they can bear even a tedious and unpleasant ‘how’.”

Mr. Ward's user-friendly, engaging program allows students to not only self-reflect on their inner desires for future goals, but also helps them experience lessons in technology and self-expression. Our school has seen students discover a myriad of career goals within themselves while also enjoying the lessons and assignments.

Dream Catcher is an outstanding career exploration tool that puts students' interests and passions at the center of their journey. By focusing on what excites and motivates students, it helps them discover their direction and set a clear path for success. The platform is engaging, easy to use, and truly empowering, giving students the confidence to pursue careers that align with who they are and what they love.

Dream Catcher is incredibly easy to implement, taking just a few minutes each day to make a lasting impact. Our students look forward to the engaging lessons and are excited to apply what they learn through the platform to their academic day. Dream Catcher helps them set meaningful goals and develop the mindset to chase down their future dreams.

Dream Catcher's CEO, Steve Ward, truly exceeded our expectations as an educational service provider. Not only did Steve provide exceptional support, but he also went above and beyond by meeting with our staff in person. His dedication, along with the exceptional assistance of Cathy Toole, made our team feel valued and fully supported throughout the process.

Many of our learners come from marginalized backgrounds, striving to improve the quality of life for themselves and their families. Dream Catcher empowers them to envision a brighter future, guiding them toward meaningful careers that align with their passions and values.

Our Inspire students greatly enjoyed the group coaching sessions that Steve and Linda provided. They discussed topics such as discovering what they are passionate about, aligning their values with their future careers, and envisioning the lifestyle they want to live. The coaching sessions were thought-provoking and gave the youth a different perspective when choosing their future career path.

The students felt uplifted and more excited about the future as they completed the online Dream Catchers Course and learned more about what they have to offer the world and how to sell themselves.

Steve's narrative resonates with students, many of whom long to find their life's purpose, while still searching for their passion. Steve helps individuals of all ages recognize their potential, as well as encourages them to discover their unexplored talents.

Steeped in personal exploration and real-world goal setting, Steve has created Dream Catcher, an online series that challenges participants to build on their strengths by demonstrating their abilities to better themselves and their communities.
