New Staff

The P20W team welcomed a new member in September.

Pictured from left to right are:

  • George Sarafianos, Research Analyst
  • Jeremy Kintzel, Director, P20W Research

The P20W team, housed within the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development, is dedicated to working with all our partners to link and find insights in P20W data.

While the P20W team is tasked with coordinating the effort, P20W includes all our partners and stakeholders within and outside state government.

George analyzes P20W data and assists the team in responding to research requests and will contribute to products and publications that respond to our partners' and the public's needs and interests regarding education-to-workforce pathways.

What is P20W?

Missouri is working to link data from preschool / early childhood through K-12 education and all avenues of postsecondary education and training (“Grade 20”) into the workforce.

Similar to efforts in many other states, we will be able to use de-identified data in ways that center privacy and confidentiality to better understand how people succeed in their education-to-workforce journey and what programs and policies helped them along the way.

Social and human services data can also be linked to help understand what programs helped residents succeed. The public will also have new tools to make informed decisions about education and training pathways and career choices.
