Builds from decades of work within agencies to collect and manage data to improve policies and programs
ILDS seeks to improve long-standing interagency processes to use data to inform better decision making –not to replace these efforts.
ILDS has identified five key priority areas for end-user reports and interagency analysis
Illinois Pathways
Mission: To empower and support all Illinois learners toexplore, progress through, and transition from high quality,structured career pathway systems into rewarding careers incritical growth areas for Illinois’ future competitiveness.
Vision: A statewide, public-private education anddevelopment initiative designed to meet two twin goals: 1) Provide students with skills and experience that will
prepare them for success in college and careers
2) Spur community economic development by fostering a homegrown talent pipeline in critical industries
Illinois Pathway
s
Key strategies: Support local career pathway
systems development that empower students to explore their academic and career interests in STEM fields
Support STEM Learning Exchanges as they work within their industry sectors to engage with businesses, communities, and schools
Illinois Pathways
Builds off of the National Career Cluster Framework and supports career pathway systems in eight STEM application areas:
WDQI: Pipeline Performance Analysis
WDQI performs an important function for both ILDS and Illinois Pathways Supports cooperation across agencies to develop
and analyze information key to understanding Career Pathway outcomes, starting with the Healthcare field
The Pipeline Performance Analysis provides the framework to understand key outcomes for students across all industry sectors
The education and employment outcomes from this analysis can inform decision-making at the state and regional level
Project connections
Given the state’s focus on sector based approaches to pipeline issues, the Illinois WDQI project seeks to
understand the following:
1. How many students in the State of Illinois are health science pathway participants?
2. What are the demographic characteristics of students that are pathways participants and completers?
3. What are the education outcomes for students who are considered pathway participants in high school?
4. What are the education and employment outcomes for students who are considered pathway participants in community college?
5. What are the education and employment outcomes for students who are considered pathway participants at public universities?
Data System Design Data system is designed as a
platform for understanding what happens to cohorts of high school, community college, and
4-year University graduates once they leave school,
transition into post-secondary education and/or progress
through the workforce

Report
Data Analysis Framework Focused on three specific milestones for
healthcare sector analysis: Graduate from high school ready for college
and careers in health science Completion of a high-quality or post-secondary
credential prepared for transition into a health science field
Entry and retention into health science careers at a living wage
Research will have a state-wide and regional focus
Research will utilize a cohort approach
Regional Focus
Illinois is pursuing a regional strategy for Illinois Pathways implementation through the Illinois 60 by 2025 Network
Target communities: Chicago Decatur East St. Louis Northwest Suburbs Peoria Rockford
