fivestar* was the strategic technology partner on the GPSTEM project. Under a three-year contract, we developed two publicly accessible online resources. CareerGPS.mas.edu is an innovative curriculum-to-career portal that helps job-seekers and prospective students make informed decisions about career options — matching individual interests and skills with programs and careers.
MyExperienceCounts.mass.edu is a centralized, online portal that promotes credit for prior learning program awareness and streamlines the CPL process through a shared, online workspace that enhances collaboration and efficiencies, setting more students on a path to success through CPL. fivestar* also created a powerful data warehouse that centralized information from multiple sources to streamline decision-making based on specific questions by integrating workforce and academic data from local, state and federal sources. It includes a powerful anonymization engine to safeguard sensitive student information and a view to manage who can access data and the time period for which that data was made available.
