About Us

Who We Are
Dream2Career is a woman-owned consultancy in Pennsylvania powered by 25+ years of workforce, recruitment, and marketing expertise. Founded by Dr. Kathleen Houlihan—whose strategies have generated over $1B in revenue for higher education, business, and the trades—we specialize in solving the work-learn motivation problem.

Our Next Chapter: Operation Dream Landing
We’re shaking up career discovery. Through our new initiative, Operation Dream Landing, we’re ending the doom scroll and giving individuals the momentum they need to turn self-discovery into purpose, a paycheck, and a career they love.

The Our Work-Learn System How it works:

Our Marketing System is unique and specialized – built to stop the doom scroll and fix the work-learn motivation problem.  Our marketing solution is built based on the NAICs codes and what makes up the facets of human experience in the workplace.  We call this the HIF LoGic Framework™ This framework serves as a common language for effective communication between workforce roles and an individual’s personal and professional development. 

The HIF LoGic Framework™ is useful for effective work-learn communication because it generalizes behavior and provides a standardized workforce infrastructure that improves business productivity and decreases costs by increasing worker access to education and its initiatives. This system is designed to improve employee motivation, minimize variation, increase quality, and improve efficiency. It is comprised of the following traits (Mavens, Specialists, Visionaries, Naturalists, Processors, and Protectors) which make up the human experience and support, in varying degrees, all workforce related jobs. 

Like a trailer for a movie; Dream2Career provides a way to communicate work-learn information so it is engaging, simplified, and fun with a purpose. We build to inspire hope and to create the motivated workforce needed to solve the world’s greatest challenges.
