Session 2: Student Pathways to Economic Mobility: Barriers, Opportunities, and System Strategies

One date in a series. See all dates →

Students evaluate educational value differently depending on where they are in their educational and career journey, and often have different motivations, face different barriers, and pursue different pathways to economic mobility. This session will explore how systems and institutions can better understand the students they serve, identify barriers to strong return on investment outcomes, and design policies, pathways, and supports that improve student success and economic mobility. Participants will learn from examples emerging from the Metrics Academies and discuss practical strategies for aligning recruitment, advising, pathway design, career preparation, and student supports with the needs of diverse student populations.
