General Connection Information

This metric is part of the Education-to-Workforce (E-W) Indicator Framework, specifically “Outcomes and milestones” which pertain to key outcomes and milestones along the E-W continuum that are strongly associated with individuals accessing mobility in relationships that help them further their goals.

This metric (percentage of individuals reporting a high level of self-efficacy on surveys) is a measurement for a key indicator, “(Indicator: Self-efficacy),” and measures whether students and workforce participants believe in their ability to achieve an outcome or reach a goal.

CEDS elements are shown in bold/italicized font and CEDS options are shown in italics.

Calculating a Response

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the academic year for which the data are being reported:

1. Academic Year Designator representing July 1 through June 30

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of students:  

1. Pull all unique students which is determined by using a unique Person Identifier where Has Person Identifier Type = Student Identifierand Has Person Identification System = State, or if your survey responses are collected anonymously, use Survey Participant Session GUID
2. Where the Student:

a.      is associated with a Postsecondary Institution through the Organization Identifier where the Organization Identifier Type = Office of Postsecondary Education Identifier 

b.      Has Role = PS Student

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of workforce participants:  

1. Pull all unique students which is determined by using a unique Person Identifier where Has Person Identifier Type = Person Identifierand Has Person Identification System = State, or if your survey responses are collected anonymously, use Survey Participant Session GUID
2. Where Has Role = Employee 

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the year for which the workforce participant is employed:

3. Employment End Date ≥ July 1 or null, or when the most recent fiscal year for your organization begins

From the universe of students and workforce participants, narrow the list to identify which students and workforce participants are reporting a high level of self-efficacy on surveys:

4. Survey Identifier orSurvey Short Name or Survey Title =
1. The New General Self-Efficacy Scale,
2. Ascend Survey (Self – Efficacy Scale), or
3. A survey of similar degree
5. Survey Administration Finish Date is within the Academic Year Designator for postsecondary students and before the Employment End Date for workforce participants
6. Survey Level for Which Designed = Postsecondary (PS), Adult Education (AE), or Workforce (W)
7. Survey Score Metric Type = Scale Score or Raw Score
8. Survey Result Score Value is ≥ the level established by the organization are considered reporting a high-level of self-efficacy on surveys. 

For Postsecondary Students:

9. Divide the number of students that are reporting a high-level of self-efficacy on surveys by the total number of students who took the survey. Multiply by 100.

For Workforce Participants:

Divide the number of workforce participants that are reporting a high-level of self-efficacy on surveys by the total number of workforce participants who took the survey. Multiply by 100.
