The Nuance Difference: "携わる" vs "努める"

In Japanese, both 携わる and 努める are often translated to English but have distinct usages. 携わる (たずさわる (tazusawaru)) represents "to be involved in, to participate in, to engage in (work, project, etc.)" (Level: N2) and typically represents Implies active involvement or participation in a certain field, business, or activity. Often used in formal or professional contexts.. On the other hand, 努める (つとめる (tsutomeru)) translates to "to endeavor, to make an effort, to strive (to do something)" (Level: N2) and is used for To make a conscious effort or exert oneself to achieve a goal or perform a task. Often implies a sustained effort.. Mixing these up can sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers!
