Monthly Report + Individual Tracking System

The Navigators will submit two reports on a monthly basis

Monthly Activity Report – Collects Information on Non-Advising work such as:Outreach efforts Employer RecruitmentKey Meetings (Faculty, Workforce Center, etc)

Individual Tracking System (uploaded into Monthly Activity Report) – Collects information on intensive advising efforts such as:Student EligibilitiesReason for VisitReferrals MadeHow Student Heard About the Program (for targeted outreach)

◦ Course Unit of Analysis – This dataset contains basic data on every course redesigned under the grant or in the redesigned curriculum by student.

◦ Student Unit of Analysis – This dataset contains basic demographic data on served CHEO students.

◦ Course History – This dataset takes the individual students found in the Course Unit of Analysis (those sitting in redesigned course/curriculum) and provides basic data on their enrollment history

◦ UI Data – This dataset contains the student’s wage data. This allows us to identify incumbent workers as well as those students employed after program completion.

Pathways

We are currently constructing a “Pathways document” that will contain information on the following:

What programs are redesigned under CHAMP?

What courses are part of these CHAMP programs?

What semesters did these courses run?

What is the specific course information on these courses?

This information is very important because this course information with be cross referenced with CCCS’s “course bible” and serve as a validation of that information. This document is also what the data pulls by IAN at CCCS will be based off of. Therefore, you will receive a document fro us and we will ask you to validate the document and add all missing information in order to ensure it is accurate and up to date.
