Collaboration Objective

REL Midwest partners with the Indiana Management Performance Hub to leverage Indiana’s statewide longitudinal data system, known as the Education and Workforce Development data system or EWD. The EWD is a collaborative initiative between the Indiana Department of Education, Commission for Higher Education, Department of Workforce Development, and Family and Social Services Administration. Education and workforce data elements are linked across the partner agencies at the record level, joining key education and workforce descriptors for exploration.

The goal of this collaboration is to explore key research questions to address specific policy initiatives. This enhanced understanding enables decisionmakers to make better informed choices to positively affect students, teachers, workers, and employers.

REL Midwest partnered with stakeholder groups in Indiana and Minnesota to study whether certain types of high school graduates or high schools have higher career and technical education (CTE) participation and whether CTE participation affects high school graduates’ college and workforce outcomes. REL Midwest is providing training sessions to school counselors and CTE staff in Indiana and Minnesota to walk them through the study findings and give them an opportunity to explore how they can apply the findings in their roles supporting students. The project will culminate in the development of resources for guidance counselors and CTE staff.
