Aspire helps students connect personal interests and strengths with academic decisions, professional skills, career pathways, and future opportunities.

7How does Aspire measure program success?
Measurement is aligned with the goals and structure of each engagement. Depending on the program, Aspire may evaluate participation, attendance, retention, academic progress, participant feedback, skill development, completed learning tools, Net Promoter Score, and other partner-defined outcomes. The case studies on this page demonstrate how Aspire’s approach has been applied across different audiences and environments.
