In the early 2000s, the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce launched an initiative to add 20,010 more post-secondary enrollments by 2010 - boosting the direct-to-college enrollment rate to 64% - in order to maintain the region's competitive edge. The initiative successfully engaged business, civic and education leaders throughout the region and recently adopted a direct-to-college enrollment goal of 72% for 2020. The Central Texas Student Futures Project, which is directed by UT's Ray Marshall Center in 11 school districts, has been an integral part of this effort since 2005, gathering, linking and analyzing education and labor market data to keep the initiative informed by providing "real-time" information to superintendents, principals, counselors and others. No other community enjoys such rich support for its postsecondary enrollment efforts.  Dr. Christopher King, director of the Ray Marshall Center, will discuss this initiative, share some of its recent successes and talk about the policy implications for Texas.

2009 AERA Paper: Findings from Multi-Methods Research In Central Texas Print E-mail
The Central Texas Student Futures Project (Student Futures Project) is a research partnership of the Ray Marshall Center for the Study of Human Resources at the University of Texas at Austin and eight Central Texas independent school districts (ISDs). One of the purposes of this project is to provide Central Texas school districts, postsecondary education institutions and employers with comprehensive, longitudinal research on what local high school students do after high school and how a variety of educational, personal and financial factors relate to their success in higher education and the workforce. National research datasets are frequently unable to provide region-specific information on high school graduate transitions. The combination of survey data (described further below) and administrative records in the regression analyses is particularly powerful and fairly unique in studies of postsecondary transitions, especially regionally-focused studies. This unique data set is also of a sufficient size to support new insights into the way various factors influence college enrollment and retention differently for key population subgroups (e.g., Hispanic, low-income, and first-generation college students) that are less likely to attend postsecondary education.
