Use Case

Developed in collaboration with the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning, XP will be piloted in several contexts starting January 2023 including with a regional workforce board, with a national not-for-profit that is embedded in middle schools and high schools, and within a set of high schools as part of the current grant’s data-driven product development requirements. Impact data will be published and shared in Spring 2023 and we are actively seeking additional pilot participants.
