A newly created data center will link education and workforce data in Kentucky to try to improve training for students at all levels. Governer Steve Beshear issued an executive order earlier this month creating the Kentucky Center for Education and Workforce Statistics. He says data from individual agencies only gives one part of the picture and policymakers, parents, students, and educators will all benefit from the combined information. The statement from Beshear's office says data from the center will be able to link high school preparation to college performance and teachers to students.
