2CPR Group

What 2CPR Group does

2CPR Group (legal entity: Certification & Career Pathways Readiness Group, Inc.) is a privately held California-based professional services firm that operates as a bridge between educational institutions and industry partners. The company designs career technical education (CTE) pathways, develops curricula aligned with state and federal guidelines, prepares and audits grant applications (Perkins, K-12 Strong Workforce, CTEIG), designs third-party certification programs, and facilitates industry outreach including field trips, professional development sessions, and student-produced media series. Its named clients are concentrated in Southern California — primarily K-12 school districts (Downey USD, Fullerton UHSD, Huntington Beach UHSD) and community colleges (West Hills Coalinga College, Coastline College) — alongside a roster of industry partners spanning audiovisual (AVIXA), consumer electronics (Samsung, Canon, Wacom), entertainment production (Mole-Richardson, Volt Lites, Gnomon), skilled trades (Southwest Carpenters Training Fund), and advanced manufacturing (IME West / Informa Markets).

The firm's core intellectual property consists of the Voices of Creativity® registered trademark (a student-produced interview series), the Voices of Industry video series produced with Downey USD's MADE program, and the Audiovisual Technology Essentials and Capstone curriculum — the first AVIXA-recognized high school AV career pathway in the United States, launched at Warren High School in 2022. The company does not operate a software product; all offerings are human-delivered consulting, facilitation, and curriculum services. Distribution is exclusively direct engagement with school district administrators, community college CTE leaders, and industry partnership managers; the firm does not sell through resellers or self-serve channels.

Revenue mechanics are professional services billing on a quote-based, project-by-project basis, with the majority of work embedded in or funded by California state and federal CTE grants. Three team members are publicly identified — Co-Founder & CEO Angela Allison and Co-Founder & COO Sean Glumace (who also serves as K-14 Career Pathways Statewide Technical Assistance Provider for the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office), plus Kiani Williams. The company has no disclosed external investors, no parent company, no acquisitions, and no funding rounds identified in the input data, indicating a founder-controlled, organically financed operating model.
