About the Study
The Inland Empire Enrollment and Persistence Study aims to understand experiences of young adults in the Inland Empire who had planned/hoped to complete college but did not.
Why is it important?
Young adults’ obstacles to achievement are not well understood and the pandemic has both compounded the difficulty and reinforced the importance of learning about their experiences. Reaching them and learning first-hand about their experiences allows us to identify regional educational support to decrease barriers and increase opportunities for them to meet their hopes/plans.
