In spite of robust programming at the high school level and scholarship support in college, many of PEF’s College Access Program graduates still face challenges that inhibit degree attainment. The PHENND/PEF Persistence Fellow will help uncover the “why” behind PEF’s persistence trends and make data-based recommendations for sustainable interventions, which in turn will inform the basis of a new post-secondary persistence framework to be implemented by PEF staff. Specifically, the Fellow’s primary responsibilities will be to:
- Support the execution of original qualitative and quantitative research of PEF’s historical persistence practices and post-secondary outcomes
- Strengthen data management and tracking practices of CAP graduates
- Develop a model of time-bound college persistence interventions to be implemented by PEF staff
- Lay a foundation for a future community-supported career coaching/mentoring program.
