13 Common Protocols & Next Steps

14 Roadmap Raise awareness and gain consensus on need Develop use cases and conduct pilot projects Develop standards and guidelines on data sharing Establish national data exchange clearinghouse 14

15 A Common Protocol Establishing data-sharing agreement Developing minimum match criteria First name, last name, birth month/yr., location Facilitating the transfer of data Estimating state bandwidth for completing work Performing analytics and quality control Presenting with a common template 15

16 Expanded Reporting Wider population coverage (e.g., secondary, noncredit) More comprehensive population profiles (e.g., veterans) Improved reporting on timing and combinations of: Education credentials and participation Certifications Employment and earnings 16

17 Sticking Points Bandwidth Do you have staff time and resources? Legal/administrative issues Do you have the support of leadership? Can you sign the data-sharing agreement? Can you access state wage data? Data analysis issues Can you work with the minimum data elements provided by certifiers? 17

18 Clearinghouse Options Continue existing state-by-state approach Build multi-state consortium(s) Create a national organization Use a central facilitator/match agent Examples: National Student Clearinghouse, Federal Employee Data Exchange System 18

19 Potential Partners National Student Clearinghouse More than 95% of postsecondary students 50% of high school students Noncredit students U.S. Census Bureau Wage records from 49 states 1099 and W2 records Company/employer data through Economic Census Directed to establish partnerships NAM Manufacturing Pipeline Data Project 19
