Data can help decisionmakers at all levels better understand education and workforce pathways—through early childhood, K–12, postsecondary, and into the workforce—and make informed decisions that drive systemic change, economic mobility, and student success.
Our latest resources highlight how three states—Indiana, Iowa, and Washington—are taking innovative steps to create clear pathways for data professionals and foster expertise in data privacy, understand the child care landscape, and streamline access to financial aid services.
Indiana Is Investing in Human Capacity and Privacy Leadership
Indiana is investing in data workforce and privacy capacity by modernizing career pathways for data professionals and embedding privacy officers across state agencies. These efforts can serve as a model for other states looking to maximize the impact and sustainability of their data systems. Explore Indiana’s approach.
Iowa is Integrating Data to Understand Child Care Supply and Demand
Iowa’s Child Care Connect (C3) system securely integrates early childhood data across systems to assist providers, help families find care, and guide policymakers’ decisionmaking. Built through public-private collaboration, C3 offers powerful tools that can better illustrate child care supply and demand across the state. Explore Iowa’s approach.
Washington State Is Using Data to Better Inform Families of Financial Aid Eligibility
Washington passed legislation to guarantee that students who participate in certain public benefit programs are income eligible for the Washington College Grant program. This approach reduces paperwork for families, enables earlier outreach to eligible students, and can help families better understand their options. Explore Washington’s approach.
