Data

LWE (pronounced as ‘Louie’) Database Assigned login password 24/7 access Different levels of access (college and consortium)

The LWE Database Developed specifically for TAACCCT programs, Enables tracking a student from program entry, through program participation, and into further education and/or employment, Data entry by file upload and manual entry screens, Captures and automatically aggregates data to facilitate preparation of Annual Performance Reports (APR), Web-based, real-time availability 24x7, Secure against unauthorized access, and Provides each member college with student–level data for tracking student progress and success.

Use of the online database provides real-time access to the annual performance report. As schools throughout the consortium enter information, the APR measure key performance indicators.
