During the summer of 2014, three Connecticut state agencies—the Connecticut State Department of Education, the Board of Regents for Higher Education, and the Department of Labor—successfully completed a pilot project and established the Preschool through 20 and Workforce Information Network. In 2015, the University of Connecticut (UConn) joined the effort, adding significantly to the scope of the data and analysis. P20WIN is an unprecedented interagency network that securely links data to gain new insights that can help improve the policies and procedures that affect individuals and students these agencies serve. The results contained herein are from a query of P20WIN data that provides an evaluation of the postsecondary outcomes achieved by the high school graduation cohort of 2011 in Connecticut’s public universities and community colleges.

It is strongly recommended that anyone interested in these data read the Summary Report carefully before using the data points in the Employment and Wage reports. The Summary Report contains important definitions and context for the data that are critical for accurate usage. Note, that the data within each table are provided by system (Connecticut State Colleges and Universities), by sector (Connecticut State Universities, Connecticut Community Colleges, and Charter Oak State Colleges) as well as by every individual institution for each of the cohort years 2009-2010 through 2013-2014.

In 2011, the State of Connecticut enacted legislation to establish “a college transition pilot program with (A) the adult education program in New Haven and Gateway Community College, (B) the adult education program in Manchester and Manchester Community College, and (C) the adult education program in Meriden and Middlesex Community College” (Public Act 11-48). The purpose of the pilot is to offer high-quality, cost-effective and accessible pathways to postsecondary education for those adults who cannot meet the criteria for entry into college-level credit courses at community college (as measured by the Accuplacer assessment).

The evaluation of the College Transition Pilot Program is available here. 

The metrics provided by P20 WIN to the Connecticut Legislative Program and Investigation (PRI) Committee were requested by the Legislative Program Review and Investigation Committee to evaluate the production of certificates by post-secondary institutions in Connecticut. This study included certificates produced by public, private, non-profit and for-profit higher education institutions.

During the summer of 2014, three Connecticut state agencies – the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE), the Board of Regents for Higher Education (BOR), and the Department of Labor (DOL) – successfully completed a pilot project and established the Preschool through Grade Twenty and Workforce Information Network. P20WIN is an interagency collaboration designed to gain new insights that can help improve the policies and procedures that affect individuals/students served by these agencies. The results contained herein are from the first P20WIN query: an evaluation of the postsecondary outcomes achieved by the high school graduation cohort of 2010 in Connecticut’s State University and Community College systems.
