Arizona Partnership for Education and Career Success (APECS) (Historical)

The Arizona Partnership for Education and Career Success (APECS) was formed to provide practitioners, policymakers, and education leaders in Arizona with technical assistance and research support to achieve the state’s goal of ensuring that 60 percent of Arizonans aged 25 and older have a postsecondary certificate or 2- or 4-year college degree by 2030. REL West provided APECS partners with coaching to develop their capacity for cross-sector collaboration and data use in service of advancing college and career readiness (CCR) for students across the state. As part of this effort, school, district, and community partners within the Flagstaff area worked with REL West to coordinate CCR strategies, community interest, and data-driven inquiry for a shared college and career agenda.
