In order to know if youth are successful in college and careers, longitudinal data systems (LDS) must connect high school, postsecondary education, the labor market, and other public services. This section includes information on how to develop LDS and the importance of using data throughout the PK-20 system to measure outcomes and improve programs and services.
With your financial support and commitment, AYPF will continue to educate and inform policymakers about strategies that work to help young people, particularly vulnerable youth, succeed in the modern workplace, become lifelong learners, and be engaged citizens.
