Developed through a collaboration between the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office and WestEd, DataVista aims to enhance understanding of the nation’s largest postsecondary education system, which includes 73 districts and 116 accredited colleges, along with additional campus centers and classrooms across the state. The platform supports evidence-based decision making at schools, colleges and within the state.

The LaunchBoard includes dashboards and planning tools specific to the Adult Education Program, Strong Workforce Program, K-14 CTE Pathways, Guided Pathways and the Simplified Metrics, as well as a program review tool called the Community College Pipeline.
  • Student Success Metrics (Dashboard) - Organized around common goals such as adult education/ESL, short-term career education, and degree/transfer, the metrics capture progression along students' educational journey from recruitment to completion, transfer, and the workforce.
