We expand access to career-connected education, work-based learning, industry-recognized credentials, pre-apprenticeships, registered apprenticeships, and employment opportunities that equip individuals with the skills and experience needed for economic mobility while helping employers develop the talent they need. 0 0 513654 0 1223225 CAVALRY is a veteran-led nonprofit workforce intermediary and U.S. Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship sponsor that connects K-12 and higher education, employers, and community and workforce partners to create accessible pathways from education to employment. CAVALRY expands access to career-connected education, work-based learning, industry-recognized credentials, pre-apprenticeships, registered apprenticeships, and employment opportunities designed to increase economic mobility while helping employers develop the skilled talent they need. During the year, CAVALRY continued to expand its workforce development model by connecting education, industry-recognized credentials, real-world work experience, and employment. Building on its established Project Management pathway, CAVALRY began developing and implementing two additional career pathways in Accounting/Financial Management and Supply Chain. This expansion enables CAVALRY to provide participants with access to multiple professional career pathways while responding to employer and regional workforce needs. CAVALRY's traditional workforce development and apprenticeship programming continued to demonstrate strong outcomes, achieving a 91% industry certification pass rate and a 91% job placement rate. Participants develop technical and transferable skills through structured career preparation, pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship experiences, mentorship, industry-recognized credential preparation, work-based learning, and real-world projects. These outcomes demonstrate CAVALRY's focus not simply on training participation, but on helping participants translate education, credentials, and professional experience into meaningful employment and greater economic mobility. CAVALRY also operated Generation E (Gen E), its middle school career exploration and workforce readiness initiative, at a Title I school during the year. Gen E introduces students to career pathways and helps them begin developing professional and transferable skills through hands-on, project-based learning and early career exposure. The program helps students understand the connection between education, skills, industry credentials, work experience, and future career opportunities. By beginning this exposure in middle school, Gen E serves as an early entry point into CAVALRY's broader education-to-employment continuum. CAVALRY also continued development of its Degree-Based Apprenticeship model, designed to integrate postsecondary education with work-based learning, industry-recognized credentials, mentorship, and progressively responsible employment experiences. The model builds upon CAVALRY's existing apprenticeship experience to create a connected pathway that can begin with career exploration in middle school, progress through high school career preparation, pre-apprenticeship and dual-credit opportunities, and continue into college, registered apprenticeship, and employment. The model is designed to enable participants to simultaneously progress toward academic credentials, develop professional experience, earn industry-recognized credentials, and build meaningful connections with employers. As its programming has expanded, CAVALRY has also strengthened its role as a workforce intermediary, working across education, industry, and the community to help close gaps between education and employment. CAVALRY collaborates with school districts, colleges and universities, employers, professional associations, nonprofits, and workforce and community organizations to identify workforce needs, develop career-connected and work-based learning opportunities, support talent development, and strengthen connections between students and employers. Employer and community partners contribute through mentorship, career exposure, project-based learning, workforce feedback, work-based learning, and employment opportunities. Through this collaborative ecosystem approach, CAVALRY is building a continuum from early career exposure to education, credentials, work experience, apprenticeship, and employment. The organization works to reduce barriers between education and employment, expand access to meaningful and paid work-based learning opportunities, strengthen regional talent pipelines, and equip participants with the education, credentials, experience, professional networks, and transferable skills necessary for long-term economic mobility and financial self-sufficiency. 0 0 0 513654 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 TX X Tracie Edmond 2108656429 18911 Hardy Oak Blvd San Antonio TX 78258 Tracie Edmond Executive Director 50 0 X 149767 0 0 Doug Mathes Board Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 Rita Philip Board Member 10 0.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Petz Treasurer 10 0 X 0 0 0 Mark Fischer Board Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 Amanda Gonzales Board Member 5 0 X 0 0 0 Kevin Adams Baord Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 Eileen Suarez Board Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 Sarina Thorn Board Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 Deliah Walker Board Chair 10 0 X 0 0 0 Laurence Edmond Board Secretary 20 0 X 0 0 0 149767 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 767182 0 767182 Workforce Training Fees 611000 456043 456043 0 0 0 0 0 0 456043 539 539 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1223764 456582 0 0 149767 104837 44930 126355 101084 25271 11457 8020 3437 48 48 5350 5350 54080 37856 16224 10366 10366 248 248 16047 16047 4244 4244 Program Fees and Registration 217177 217177 0 0 Memberships and Subrciptions 8489 8489 0 0 Insurance 597 597 0 0 learning Managment System 8885 8885 0 0 613110 513654 99456 0 168604 298714 110032 360571 110874 426460 389510 1085745 0 85581 0 85581 X 263922 460164 125588 540000 389510 1000164 389510 1085745 610654 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 0 1 0 X 11100 33536 191928 445289 227182 909035 456043 456043 11100 33536 191928 445289 683225 1365078 1365078 16 16 16 42 90 16 16 16 42 0 90 11116 33552 191944 445331 683225 1365168 0.99993 0.99985 0.00007 0.00015 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 Deferred Compensation 85581 85581 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 The secretary of the board has family ties with the Executive director Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Prior to filing, a complete copy of Form 990 is provided to the members of the governing body for review.
