SPECIAL COLLECTIVE BREAKOUT
Learn from Career Launch Partners about How they are Measuring Career Readiness
You will hear directly from Career Launch partners from public and private colleges who've implemented the Career Launch Readiness Assessment. You will learn:
-
about the value of having data on where students are when they enter your college (student value and institutional value),
-
why students (who take the assessment close to graduation) say, "I wish you would have had me take this sooner!",
-
how the macro and segmented data is being used to make more informed strategic decisions, and
-
what a "super carrot" is and how it can help you achieve your retention and career outcome goals and objectives.
