Improving Data and Metrics Towards Measuring Racial Equity with Jane Addams Resource Corporation

(2019 - Present)

CURL is working with Jane Addams Resource Corporation (JARC) to improve tracking of the organization's main outcomes for their career manufacturing trainees in ways that are the most efficient and are disaggregated by race and gender. In order to do this, CURL is conducting focus groups and surveys with JARC staff as well as analyzing the organization's administrative data and database structures, co-producing data management strategies, and generating new metrics. CURL will also work with the organization to improve their data collection around tracking longer-term benchmarks with career manufacturing alumni trainees.
