Community Vibrancy Cohort
To help institutions build their capacity to enact change at this level, ATD has selected a cohort of 16 Network colleges with generous support from Ascendium Education Group and Crimsonbridge Foundation to test new tools and training materials intended to help colleges address inequities on their campus and in their communities. These tools and materials will attempt to provide data to help colleges assess market potential amongst opportunity populations, track the right institutional metrics and monitor both workforce outcomes and community vibrancy metrics. The project will last approximately one year and culminate in a sharing event at DREAM 2024.
