Evidence of Effectiveness

A national career readiness program whose mission is to inspire and prepare students for careers instead of jobs and give them a vision for higher education utilized PAIRIN’s tools to evaluate the effectiveness of their program with their 740 students, all who would be first-time college attendees. They surveyed their students before the 8-week program started and at the end of the program to understand the effectiveness of their program. The longitudinal results revealed that the Self-Confidence of students grew, but over half of the students experienced a regression in Self-Confidence by the end of the internship. The discovery of this data is led to significant changes in the program to better meet the needs of students and their internship employers.

Case Study

At the University of Colorado–Colorado Springs, a group of students was working to study and develop leadership and community service skills. PAIRIN’s soft skills assessment, coaching techniques and online curriculum were used for personalized learning. The PAIRIN Survey was used at the beginning of the program to provide a baseline and at the end to measure growth over time. Overall, 97% of the students experienced meaningful change, a T-score difference of 10 or more between surveys, with at least one attribute. The group changed an average of 3.64% across all the soft skills and mindsets measured by PAIRIN. Their Career Readiness match score increased by 8.05% as a group. The most notably changed attributes for the group were in Approval Seeking, which decreased by 10.6%; Achievement, which rose by 8.19%; and Engagement, which grew by 6.75%. Students completed a total of 106 online curriculum modules over the course of the school, with one of those students averaging a 29% growth in scores related to the online curriculum modules completed.
