Shaping the Future for Learner Success

The National Student Clearinghouse® is committed to improving learners’ lives — and to do that, robust data visualization is crucial. Our work helps stakeholders across the education and workforce landscape bring visibility to the learners at the center of that landscape. By helping organizations “see” students better, we can enable insights that affect the educational progression, outcomes, and success of real people.

To make these efforts possible, the Clearinghouse is improving and expanding our infrastructure and capabilities, both internally and externally, so we can use the data we manage in new and deeper ways to benefit the education and workforce communities.

Below you can see a snapshot of the many ways the Clearinghouse has made an impact over the past year. Visit “Our Impact: Research” and “Our Impact: Services” to learn more about our reports and service innovations.
