What does student success look like after graduation? Nebraska Commissioner of Education Dr. Brian Maher joins NSWERS Executive Director Matt Hastings to discuss why schools need a clearer view of students’ paths through college, training, and work.

They also discuss how connected education and workforce data can help Nebraska leaders move beyond snapshots of performance and make better decisions for students and communities.
