Pipeline Project Evaluation
Legal Momentum works with career and technical education (CTE) high schools in New York City to improve the recruitment and retention of girls. Legal Momentum's Pipeline Project seeks to increase the number of middle school and high school aged girls in nontraditional (maledominated) CTE programs, which lead to occupations with higher wages, better benefits, and greater opportunities for professional growth. The Pipeline Project currently operates in seven CTE high schools in New York City. The Capstone team developed and implemented a surveybased program evaluation to assess perceptions, attitudes, and decision factors of students, faculty, and administrators. The results were used to evaluate the impact of the program and identify opportunities for future program expansion.
