Title: A Short Guide to "Tipping Point" Analyses of Community College Student Labor Market Outcomes
Abstract: The “tipping point” refers to a study conducted by David Prince of the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) and Davis Jenkins of CCRC. Using transcript data on individual students collected by the SBCTC, the study tracked the progress over five years of a cohort of Washington State community and technical college students 25 or older who entered the system with at most a high school diploma. This included students in adult basic skills programs (including Adult Basic Education and English-as-a-Second-Language, or ESL), which in Washington are provided by the community and technical colleges. The purpose of the study was to enrich understanding of the educational pathways and labor market outcomes of low-skill adult students, who make up about a third of the 300,000 students served annually by Washington community and technical colleges.
