Dual Enrollment: Stakeholder Engagement Reports

This resource presents valuable insights from interviews and focus groups conducted by Capitol Impact between May and October 2025 with a wide range of stakeholders, including students, families, educators, and employers. It highlights key challenges in dual enrollment, including inequities in access for underserved students, isolation in online courses, and logistical barriers like transportation and inconsistent resources. Administrative barriers, such as misaligned policies and systems, also disrupt program success. To address these issues, the report recommends strengthening K-12 and community college partnerships, offering family-centered orientations, integrating career pathways, and addressing equity gaps for priority student groups.
