Regional Learner Data Collaborative: Connecting Education and Workforce Data Across State Lines
Education and labor markets don’t stop at state borders. Students may attend college in one state and build their careers in another, while employers increasingly draw talent from across regions. Yet states often lack the connected data needed to understand these pathways and how they shape regional economies. With support from ECMC Foundation, Coleridge is developing the Regional Learner Data Collaborative (RLDC), a multi-state initiative focused on the Appalachian and Delta regions. The two-year project will bring states together to strengthen connections among postsecondary education, workforce, and economic development data and build a foundation for understanding learner and worker mobility across state lines.
Fair Chance to Advance
Millions of Americans with records of arrest, conviction, or incarceration face significant barriers to education, employment, and economic mobility. Overcoming these challenges requires more than individual programs—it requires better coordination across corrections, workforce, education, and human services systems, supported by secure, connected data. Coleridge is proud to partner with Jobs for the Future (JFF) on the Fair Chance to Advance (FC2A) State Action Networks, a multi-year initiative made possible through a $19.5 million investment from Ascendium Education Group. Together, we are helping states build the data infrastructure, cross-agency partnerships, and analytical capacity needed to improve education and workforce outcomes for justice-impacted individuals.
Prison Education Programs Data Infrastructure
Funded by Ascendium Education Group and conducted in partnership with the State of Arkansas, this project will develop a comprehensive, linked data infrastructure to measure prison education programs. This resource will support analyses of educational opportunities in prisons and help estimate how effective these programs are in promoting post-release success.

About Coleridge
Coleridge is a nonprofit organization working with government agencies to ensure that data are more effectively used for public decision-making. We do this both by providing a platform to securely link confidential data within and across states and agencies, and by providing data literacy training to agency staff. Our platform is the Administrative Data Research Facility (ADRF) which is a secure, FedRAMP-certified, cloud-based environment that enables government agencies to link their longitudinal data with other states and agencies.
