The Kentucky Center for Statistics (KYSTATS) has developed a research agenda for 2023-2025 focused on issues of equity. The theme of the KYSTATS 2023-2025 Research Agenda is to optimize data to expand data usage to inform policy, programs, and equity in the evolving Commonwealth. The Board has identified four primary objectives with a focus on linking education and workforce data from multiple sources (KRS 151B.133) to identify pathways of students through employment to be used to guide impactful decisions throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s education system and training programs (KRS 151B.132).
