Tracking Progress and Impact

To effectively target our efforts and track progress towards our 71K target, we have broken down this overarching goal by specific Cradle to Career outcomes and established annual targets. This detailed approach allows us to more precisely focus our initiatives and measure their effectiveness.

In addition to these outcome measures, we also track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These KPIs help us answer essential questions: How much did we do? How well did we do it? What difference did we make? How are young people better off? For the 2024-2025 school year, our goal is to support at least 3,368 more children and young people in achieving these milestones. Recognizing that not all will meet these milestones within the year, we aim to support double this number to ensure significant progress toward our ultimate goal.

Priority industries:

As we chart our path to ensuring 71,000 additional young people achieve Cradle to Career milestones by 2030, we are prioritizing our work around the industries that serve as major economic drivers and offer employment at a good wage. These priority industries have been identified through collaboration with key partners, including AC-REP, Adams County Government, Arvada Chamber of Commerce, the Colorado Workforce Development Council, the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, and other experts in talent, workforce, and economic development.

Our Phased Approach:

RMP is dedicated to ensuring that thousands of young people in our region achieve crucial Cradle to Career (C2C) milestones, paving the way for upward mobility. The ‘Resiliency Project’ is just the first phase of this longer term work.

*Data Note: All numbers are based on calculations and projections from 2024-2030, and account for projected population growth over the next several years and for fluctuations in who is on/off a path to upward mobility
