Overall Research Project Description Backtracking CTE Pathways is a collaboration between Florida State University and Tallahassee Community College to understand the pathways students take through college and into careers in information technology. Specifically, the project gathers data about former students, including institutional data (such as grades) and information from surveys and interviews. These data include information about students who completed the program, who did not complete the program, and who changed programs or transferred to other institutions. Data are analyzed to identify potential pathways and critical junctions that may lead to student success or other outcomes. The research team expect that this approach will reveal opportunities and hindrances students face as they pursue credentials in information technology.

Research Tasks Tasks involve conducting alumni interviews, cleaning transcribed interviews, analyzing the findings, and creating visual graphics of the findings.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Skill with interviewing and graphic design recommended.

Mentoring Philosophy The mentor/mentee relationship is one that is built on trust and respect. It is important that goals are developed that are mutually beneficial. Students should expect an environment built for learning and appropriate communication about tasks, deadlines, and adequate guidance on how to perform tasks. The mentor is open to innovative ideas, questions, and encourages growth through exposure to research.
