Career mobility evidence becomes stronger as measurement moves from participation and learner development toward career assets, career action, follow-up movement, employment or advancement, and longer-term economic outcomes.
We use the strongest true claim.
Selected evidence from Aspira’s Fall 2025–Spring 2026 work with the Salinas Valley Adult Education Consortium and Hartnell College.
Unique learners
English & Spanish cohorts
Planned cohort capacity utilized
Pre/post self-assessments showed measurable learner-reported gains in career mobility competencies, and learners produced reusable career assets including professional narratives, elevator pitches, networking language, and reflection tools.
Current evidence supports participation, learner-reported development, documented career assets, and early workforce activation. It does not establish verified employment, advancement, wage gain, persistence, retention, or completion outcomes.
186 unique learners across four bilingual cohorts; approximately 93% of planned capacity utilized.
Learner-reported pre/post learner-reported gains in confidence, professional identity, relationship-building, personal asset reframing, and career storytelling.
Learners produced reusable tools such as professional narratives, elevator pitches, networking language, and reflection tools.
Emerging evidence includes instructor-reported examples of learners taking concrete steps toward opportunity.
Evidence becomes stronger as it gets closer to what learners actually do and achieve after an intervention. The ladder is a progression in evidence strength — not a claim that every learner moves linearly through every stage.

What we are building next
Aspira works with partners to define the evidence needed for the next decision – whether to sustain, revise, expand, deepen, pause, or stop a career mobility.
