Accessing robust and timely state data information is crucial when it comes to strengthening the link between education and opportunity.
Across the country, state governments are creating ways that allow their education and #workforce data to work together. Strada worked closely with state data agencies and higher education executives to identify 10 critical elements that contribute to the capacity of state data systems.
These elements are organized into four distinct functions:
Collect education and employment outcomes data that include detailed student- and program-level data for all #PostSecondary programs, including noncredit and nondegree programs.
Integrate education and employment data and establish data-sharing partnerships to track graduate outcomes.
Provide students, families, and other stakeholders with accessible education and employment data that can inform decision-making and assure quality and value.
Drive impact by sharing state #DataDrivenInsights with policymakers, institutions, and employers seeking a comprehensive view in how to best fill talent shortages, develop in-demand programs, and prepare students for success.
