Abstract: Efforts to increase educational attainment are supported by federal, state, and local policy, practice, and support; national non-profits; and the business sector as it strives to fill labor gaps. In North Carolina, myFutureNC is working to ensure that by 2030, 2 million North Carolinians have a high-quality credential or postsecondary degree. This goal is necessary as only 1.6 million adults will meet the attainment definition in 2030, leaving a gap of an estimated 400,000 individuals. North Carolina will need an estimated 400,000 additional residents to attain a high-quality credential or postsecondary degree to meet the demands of businesses and industries. Across the state, educators, school counselors, nonprofits, coaches, career development coordinators, and mentors have stepped up to support students to close the credential gap. This evaluation report explores the operations, resources offered, and coverage of these services among organizations providing support for college and career access for North Carolina's high school students. The goals of this evaluation report are to highlight areas where there is substantial support and resources for students as well as illuminate gaps in these services, and provide recommendations for future collaborative projects. The authors interviewed leaders and directors at 24 access and achievement organizations to better understand their staffing structure, key services, and how they collaborate with one another to serve students. They included general information about three federal TRiO programs that are operating at local colleges, universities, and organizations throughout the state: Talent Search, Upward Bound, and Upward Bound Math and Science. Additionally, 12 of those programs responded to a survey to share specific information regarding their key services and collaborations. Finally, the organizations offered insight into how the COVID-19 pandemic has provided unforeseen opportunities and challenges in supporting students through the college and career decision making process. This report includes recommendations for stakeholders to consider. [This report was prepared with MyFutureNC.]
