CPTC partnering with InsideTrack to promote greater student success
Together, we’re bringing evidence-based coaching to Clover Park students — helping more learners start, stay, and succeed on their path to a credential, degree, and a career they’re proud of.
The Challenge
The need to bring learners to school — and help them complete — has never been greater
CPTC can pave the way for all types and ages of students to earn a certificate, associate degree, or even a bachelor’s degree, and develop the skills needed to enter the workforce prepared for an in-demand job.
But college enrollment has been declining nationwide for more than a decade, and stop-out rates have been rising — especially for first-time adult learners and students of color — all while staff and funding shortages persist.
That’s why CPTC has chosen to partner with InsideTrack.
InsideTrack has spent more than 20 years working with community colleges to improve enrollment, retention, completion, and career advancement through professional coaching. They support learners across both degree and non-degree pathways — helping students earn the credentials that open doors for themselves, their families, and their communities.
InsideTrack also partners with colleges to secure funding that fuels student support transformation across departments, building a sustainable support system built to last.
