Lunch and Learn Series: Kentucky Center for Education & Workforce Statistics

Description

Presented by Kentucky Center for Education & Workforce Statistics Kate Akers, PhD., Executive Director. The Kentucky Center for Education and Workforce Statistics (KCEWS) collects and links data to evaluate education and workforce efforts in the Commonwealth. This includes developing reports and providing statistical data about these efforts so policy makers, agencies, and the general public can make better informed decisions. The Kentucky P20 Data Collaborative has been dissolved and its work is now being continued and expanded upon by KCEWS. This includes maintaining the Kentucky Longitudinal Data System (KLDS), a statewide longitudinal data system, as well as responding to requests for data and information, and providing reports on a number of topical areas including feedback about the performance of high school graduates after they go to college, developing the Kentucky County Profiles, and information about the outcome of teacher preparation, college, adult education, and other programs.
