Metrics Academies Application
The National Association of Higher Education Systems (NASH), in partnership with WestEd’s Center for Economic Mobility, is launching the NASH Metrics Academies. This initiative aims to enhance the data-driven capabilities of educational practitioners, enabling them to leverage labor market information to foster actionable insights that improve economic mobility. The academies will engage participants from eight member systems in two cohorts. Systems and participating campuses will participate in four state-specific in-person convenings where they will:
- Receive customized labor market and educational data tools
- Engage with colleagues from their system on topics related to enrollment, completion, student debt, and employment
- Develop skills in how to find, interpret, and apply labor market information and other data to improve economic mobility
- Create action plans using labor market information and the academy insights to improve student outcomes
To be considered for the NASH-WestEd Metrics Academies, please complete the following form. Systems will be selected with consideration to:
- System representation (geographical; institutional profile; urban and rural, etc)
- Demonstrated commitment and capacity to participate
- Alignment to institutional priorities and a commitment to action
To be considered for participation, please complete all sections of the form and submit by November 25, 2024
