Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) Accelerator Onboarding Course
The PDP Accelerator Onboarding Course is designed to support college teams that are new to the Postsecondary Data Partnership. Participants will connect with colleagues and mentors, complete a comprehensive PDP data submission to maximize dashboard functionality, navigate the ever-growing demands for better data to inform better decisions, and use data to advance equity. The course content is available virtually for participants to access when it best suits their schedule and is supplemented with live sessions for real-time engagement with PDP experts. Since 2021, ATD has offered a PDP Onboarding Course dedicated to helping institutions develop and submit their data files to the Clearinghouse to populate the PDP dashboards. In 2022-2023, over 176 individuals and 82 institutions were served by this course.

The PDP Data Discovery & Decision Support Course explores using the PDP to ask critical questions and use intersectional data to explore previously unanswerable questions, identify institutional performance gaps, assess progress toward closing those gaps, and leverage the PDP to support decision-making. The course structure provides a foundation for participants to interact with colleagues and mentors and collaboratively navigate the ever-growing demands for better data to inform better decisions and advance the use of equity-minded language/approach to the work. By offering the course virtually, participants can access the content when it suits their schedule, along with additional live sessions for real-time engagement, expert insights, live chatting, and Q&A. A summary of these live sessions will be available for those unable to attend the live sessions. In addition, an on demand Ask the Expert option will be available for individual questions.
