2:35pm – 2:50pm
College Example: Living Wage Visualization with CTEOS data (Michael Pham:
Please ask questions throughout the session

3. Reminder of Data Sources for LaunchBoard
Student and program data, including characteristics, progress, and completion from the CCCCO MIS database
Employment and earnings data from Employment Development Department
CTEOS outcomes from the CTE Outcomes Survey
Labor market information from EMSI
Inner vs External Factors

4. Different Views in the LaunchBoard: Thinking About Economic Mobility
Offerings: how do your CTE programs compare to others in the region and how do programs at a college compare to each other; time trends
Students: getting to know them at the college and in the different program areas
Milestones: persistence, retention rates
Success: how do students benefit in terms of awards and wage gains for skills builders
Employment: how do those successes at the college translate to employment and earnings
Earnings: are my students making a living wage?

5. Economic Mobility: Bringing Data from Launchboard and CTEOS into Conversations
Regional Level: looking at outcomes for colleges across a region
College Level: looking at outcomes for a college across programs
College Level: looking at outcomes for a college across demographics and student populations

6. Regional Level: Inland Empire | Living Wage
Source for Living Wage; Differences – almost 30% difference between colleges; sample or population sizes – pretty healthy with only Copper Mountain below 100 students

7. Regional Level: Inland Empire | Living Wage
First impressions of the data
Almost 30% difference between highest and lowest
Sample size, population or numerator and denominators
Steady increase over the last three years
What else would you like to know?
Source of the data for living wage
Which programs are getting students to a living wage?
What does the breakdown look like amongst ethnicities or age groups or gender?
Is there a difference between completers and skill builders?
Can we ever know which students are missing?
Source for Living Wage; Differences – almost 30% difference between colleges; sample or population sizes – pretty healthy with only Copper Mountain below 100

8. Living Insight Center for Community Economic Development
Source for Living Insight Center – will be the source for the FF by COUNTY

9. Living Wage Calculations for Riverside and San Bernardino Counties
Living wage for two counties in Inland Empire – FF change will not affect this region much

10. Regional Level: Inland Empire | Living Wage | by Ethnicity
Can look at metrics by gender, by ethnicity, by age group – can see discrepancies between ethnic groups

11. Regional Level: Inland Empire | Living Wage | by Program
Datamart: Look at FTES to decide which programs to explore

Completers vs Skill Builders
Not the same in other regions

17. Regional Level: Inland Empire | CTEOS Survey | Current Employment Status | Survey Data
Students missing in matching to EDD UI Wage data – Self-employed – who important are they in the Inland Empire Region

18. Economic Mobility: Bringing Data from Launchboard and CTEOS into Conversations
Regional Level: looking at outcomes for colleges across a region
College Level: looking at outcomes for a college across programs
College Level: looking at outcomes for a college across demographics and student populations

28. College Level: Chaffey College| Living Wage | Chaffey vs Region | ECE | by Ethnicity
6% difference between Chaffey and region

29. College Level: Chaffey College| Persistence Rate| Chaffey vs Region | ECE | by Ethnicity
Across the board, better persistence rates at Chaffey – so not a persistence issue – important b/c we saw how completion means more wages in this region

37. All the Tabs on the Launchboard

38. The LaunchBoard offers a suite of dashboards that helps community colleges track progress toward economic mobility
Community College Pipeline: program review
Guided Pathways tab: first year progress indicators
SWP tab: end-of-college indicators
K14 CTE Pathway tab: transition from K-12 into college
CTEOS tab: nuanced employment indicators (integrated into the Community College Pipeline in summer 2018)

41. Perkins Indicator Reports
What are some of the potential inconsistencies of the data in Launchboard vs other sources AT THIS TIME?
Datamart vs Launchboard
Data Mart
Launchboard Data
Can be updated any time by colleges
Refreshed quarterly with MIS data
Enrollments include drop-outs
Enrollments do NOT include drop-outs
Perkins vs Launchboard
Perkins Indicator Reports
Launchboard Data
Limited cohort of students reported: more than one credit vocational course, valid SSN, did not enroll in K-12, no prior post-secondary credential, either completed 12+ vocational units under same 2-digit TOP or earned a vocational award
Broad cohort of students: taken one or more course in the selected TOP code in the selected year
Focus on Five Core Indicators: technical skills attainment; earned a credential, certificate or degree; persistence or transfer; job placement; nontraditional participation and completion
100s of metrics: shown more at a granular level without combining metrics i.e. completion and transfer are shown separately
I was wondering about trying to be really upfront about the inconsistencies and limitations of the data.

42. Perkins Indicator Reports
