What success looks like — for students, schools, and the region.

We measure impact at every level — from individual student growth to systemic change. Here's what we're working toward, and how we'll know when we're getting there.

STUDENT OUTCOMES

What we expect to see in the students we serve.​

🎯  Career Awareness

Students articulate diverse career pathways, understand how academic skills connect to real-world work, and can name professionals in their lives who reflect a range of careers and identities.

​

💪  Self-Efficacy & Agency

Students demonstrate stronger belief in their capacity as learners, set more specific goals, and show increased ability to advocate for their own interests and aspirations.

​

🏫  School Engagement

Increased attendance, stronger advisory participation, and reduced chronic absenteeism — as students experience school as relevant, connected, and worth showing up for.

​

🪪  Sense of Belonging

Students report feeling seen, valued, and capable of success — assessed through research-aligned belonging indicators embedded in our reflection tools.

​

🗺️  Future Planning

Students can articulate emerging interests, identify skills they want to develop, and connect their academic choices to their evolving sense of purpose.

​

🤝  Social Capital

Students have meaningful relationships with professionals outside their immediate networks — adults who know their names, their interests, and their potential.

SYSTEM OUTCOMES

​

What we expect to see at the school an

community level.

​

🏢  Sustained Industry Engagement

Tracked through partner recruitment rates, retention across years, and volunteer hours — a growing, active network of industry relationships maintained without individual educator burden.​

​

📚  MyCAP Integration

Schools demonstrate coherent, schoolwide MyCAP implementation embedded in advisory and academic structures — not an isolated initiative but part of how the school works.​

​

👩‍🏫  Educator Confidence

Teachers and advisors report greater confidence, reduced coordination burden, and stronger capacity to facilitate career-connected learning as a regular part of their practice.​

​

⚖️  Equitable Access

Participation data across student groups shows consistent access regardless of background, neighborhood, or school — the promise of the model, verified through data.

HOW WE MEASURE IT

Quantitative and qualitative, by design.

​

Quantitative Metrics

  • Number of partners recruited, onboarded, and retained

  • Frequency and type of career-connected experiences delivered

  • Student participation rates across grade levels

  • Volunteer hours and employer engagement data

  • Attendance rates and chronic absenteeism trends

  • MyCAP artifact completion and advisory tracking

  • Pre/post surveys on career awareness and goal-setting

​

Qualitative Metrics

  • Student reflection data on interests, strengths, and future planning

  • Belonging surveys aligned to research-based indicators

  • Focus groups on agency and perceived relevance

  • Educator feedback on implementation support and reduced burden

  • Industry partner feedback on engagement quality and sustainability

  • Equity analysis across student groups and schools

​

Progress is reviewed quarterly. Success is defined not only by participation numbers, but by evidence that students can articulate future goals, connect learning to career pathways, and see themselves as capable, future-ready individuals.
