This brief highlights work in Delaware by the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE) and in South Carolina by the South Carolina Technical College System (SCTCS) to improve postsecondary CTE data communications and use. Delaware and South Carolina demonstrate how internal CTE data dashboards can drive continuous improvement by giving institutions real-time, disaggregated insights into learner outcomes and program performance. By pairing these tools with training and a culture of data use, both states offer replicable models for embedding data into everyday decisionmaking to strengthen CTE access and success.

This brief is part of Strengthening the Culture of CTE Data Use in Postsecondary Education series documenting the journey of four states participating in Advance CTE’s Advancing Postsecondary CTE Data Quality Initiative (PDI). Through funding and technical assistance, Delaware, Iowa, New Mexico, and South Carolina examined critical problems of practice, developed resources, and implemented innovative solutions to improve the quality and use of postsecondary CTE.
