Product: This small business will develop an open-source toolkit that states and networks can use to calculate metrics that support and inform decision making by postsecondary students. This toolkit (TEAPOT) will include several components to support implementation including data requirements, a field guide with instructional materials and technical tools to help partners to securely and ethically combine wage and education data, a resource hub containing expert guidance and recommendations for deploying the ROI metrics in different contexts and apps, and a reference interface that allows states and networks to present ROI data as part of their career guidance applications.

In Phase II, BrightHive and partners will refine and build out the TEAPOT open source code base to support additional data sources and a menu of ROI calculation methods depending on data availability. The team will also develop training materials and toolkit supports for both postsecondary data collaboratives producing ROI data using the toolkit and embedding ROI information into their apps. At the end of Phase II, research partners will measure the impact of the ROI tool on student outcomes for 300 students, including determining whether ROI information improves the discovery of educational opportunities, increases the likelihood of enrollment overall, and leads to measurable changes in enrollment in high- versus low-ROI programs.
