Career Pathways Initiative (CPI): Insights from the First Two Years of Implementation. Mid-Program Assessment

The CPI Mid-Term Assessment provides insights from the first two years of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF)® Career Pathways Initiative (CPI). The authors derived insights from a comprehensive view of the experience of UNCF's Institute for Capacity Building (ICB) and the network of institutions implementing the program. To facilitate continuous improvement, this assessment shares early insights that guide how the authors address the following questions through completion of the grant: (1) How can ICB's delivery of programmatic supports be refined?; (2) How can scale promising practices be willed across the three-pronged network-based approach?; and (3) How can current efforts to support student success be amplified? UNCF, ICB, and the CPI's ultimate goal is to increase student and workforce outcomes for low-income, first generation Black students and other students of color. This mid-term assessment is an important milestone for the program. Insights from this assessment will shape how UNCF will enhance the execution of the CPI program through the remainder of the grant period. It will also identify promising practices to inform transformative change at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), predominantly Black institutions (PBIs), and other institutions of higher education. The assessment covers the first two years of program implementation or the period from January 2017-December 2019. It is organized to provide insights from three critical components: program overview, early outcomes, and institutional highlights. The assessment ends with a summary of progress to date and path forward.
