1. Defining a Career Skills Building Student Cohort & Outcome

2. Background of the Study Skills builders are a substantial proportion of our student college population. They do not always have traditional outcomes, such as awards or transfer. Goal to develop metric to add to the Student Success Scorecard (but could also provide a more detailed tool in the DataMart).

3. Scorecard & Course Behavior Scorecard cohorts based solely on past course behavior. Look back to determine inclusion into cohort (example: completion cohort, look back 6 years, determine who had at least 6 units and attempted any Math or English). Those meeting criteria would then be included in cohort. How many completed outcome definition in some time period?

4. Student Course Taking Pattern Students completes at least.5 units. Some number of these units must be a SAM A, B, or C course (.5 or 3 units) No longer enrolled after 1 year Did subsequently not earn an award or transfer to a four-year institution Did not fail a course during the academic year

5. Cohort Sizes (2011-12) Student course taking pattern – N=119,760 have at least.5 units – N=88,068 have at least 3 units 4-5% of total 11-12 enrollment

6. Cohort Characteristics Median Age —30 Median units earned (11-12 year) —4 44% female/55% male 13% Asian, 6% African American, 30% Hispanic, 42% White % Vocational courses taken — 69% Course Success Rate— 69%

7. Wage Gain Outcome Median Wages 1 year before enrollment (2010- 11) compared to wages 1 year after (2012-13).5 units $29,600 to $37,400 (26.3%) $5,105 median increase in earnings 3 units $20,300 to $27,800 (36.9%) $4,733 median increase in earnings
