Hamilton\, Daniel E. Duerr\, & Jeffrey M. And erson of Saint Leo University.  The Office of Institutional Effectiveness (IE) is expanding its support of student success by integrating labor mark et information about pathways available to baccalaureate degree holders. T his aligns with recent scholarship on student persistence\, as well as wit h proposed changes at the Federal reporting level\, and allows institution s to apply a market research lens to the study of student success. To unde rstand the most promising avenues for this new area of work\, we conducted two separate research studies. The first study explores how students use labor market information related to their academic majors—what we term as career relevant information (or CRI). Additionally\, we identify how CRI i s communicated to students. Our second study uses a content analysis of de partment websites from 100 institutions to identify common strategies used to communicate CRI and to find effective communication practices. Based o n the findings from these two studies\, we developed two tools to present this information to students: infographics for each degree that we offer a nd a dashboard (still in development) that provides students with a mechan ism to make direct comparisons of degree programs. We discuss the developm ent and application of these tools\, describe how other institutions could replicate the project\, and identify how we will evaluate this initiative .  DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170118T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170118T150000 LAST-MODIFIED:20210813T194948Z LOCATION:023 Dunbar Library SUMMARY:The Majors to Labor Market Initiative: Beginning to Bridge the Gap between Academic Programs and Student Expectations Webinar URL;TYPE=URI:/events/majors-labor-market-initiative-b eginning-bridge-gap-between-academic-programs-student END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
