Priority 1 Feasibility Research: Student Survey Summary April 2025

This report presents descriptive findings from a questionnaire distributed to students enrolled in CAYG-developed incremental credentials across five institutions, yielding 77 valid responses from 1,280+ invitations. Students primarily pursued credentials for employment-related goals, with skill development, time savings, and affordability cited as key attractions. However, few reported tangible employment outcomes, suggesting gaps between credential design and market alignment. Most students learned about credentials through institutional online resources or advisors, pointing to opportunities for broader employer-engaged outreach.
