Beginning Status: This is about employment at the time of enrollment: employed, never employed, or not employed.

 

College To Careers (C2C): Southwestern's name of the TAACCCT grant project at Southwestern that ran from October 2014 through October 2018.

 

Completed: We track who's completed a certificate, industry-recognized credential or degree after enrolling. These are the participants who completed one of those during the time of the grant.

 

Current Status: This is about employment at the time of the report: employed or not employed.

 

Didn't Complete: Participants who dropped out of school before completing a program except for those who got employed in the target occupation before completing, like the participant with the "Employed Before Completing" status.

 

DOL: US Department of Labor

 

Employed Before Completing: We had one participant get employed for the target occupation of a grant-supported program before that student completed the full program. Because that person had gotten significant introduction, discipline knowledge, and practice in that healthcare-related field, the local employer in great need of this particular position hired. 

 

Enrollees: Enrollees are people who have completed the first step in being a participant which has two parts: they have completed an application and we have verified that at enrollment time they are in a supported college program. 

 

Incumbent: A grant-specific term that identifies what participants already had a job when they enrolled. This was very common for our grant, as our region has a low level of unemployment, but a rather high, albeit implied, level of under-employment among working aged adults.

 

Newly Employed: We track who's working and who not working at the time of enrollment. Newly employed participants are people who got a job sometime after enrollment.

 

Participants: Participants of the grant are students who are a part of supported programs who agree to share their information and outcomes in exchange for college and career coaching provided by grant staff

 

School Status: This is about a participant's current involvement with the college program: Completed, Didn't Complete, Employed Before Completing, Still in College, Still in Program.

 

School-Work Match: This roughly identifies if a participant's current employment is related to the program they were enrolled in: related, possible, not related. 

 

Still in College : We track who's still in school. Participants who are still attending college, but were not in a grant-supported program at the time of the report are "still in college". They may have completed a credential here, maybe not.

 

Still in Program: These are enrollees who were still in a grant-supported program at the time of the report

 

TAACCCT: The Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College & Career Training Grant Program is a grant with a four-year cycle that is currently in its 4th cycle.
