The Colorado Wage Outcomes Results Coalition (WORC) unveiled a dashboard on September 17, 2025, that tracks the effectiveness of career training programs in Colorado by providing data on industry placements and earnings for program participants. The prototype dashboard is a valuable resource in helping:
● Career training providers to better understand the effectiveness of their programs in preparing participants to secure jobs,
● Policy leaders and funders to see what programs are fulfilling their promises to set learners on a path toward economic mobility, and
● In the longer run, learners to see the earnings outcomes they can expect from different available options.
The WORC dashboard was created by the Colorado Equitable Economic Mobility Initiative (CEEMI) and the Colorado Evaluation and Action Lab at the University of Denver (Colorado Lab). The joint endeavor recognizes the traditional postsecondary system only works for one in four students—with markedly worse odds for Black, Latino, and low-income workers.
