Case Study: Somerset Community College boosts student confidence and persistence with SmarterServices' SmarterMeasure

Somerset Community College boosts persistence 25.1% with SmarterServices

Somerset Community College serves a diverse student population, including many from rural and lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The college's challenge was to help these students build the self-awareness and confidence needed to succeed academically, moving beyond traditional placement tests to evaluate a wider range of non-cognitive skills. To address this, they turned to SmarterServices and implemented the SmarterMeasure Learning Readiness Indicator.

The solution from SmarterServices involved using SmarterMeasure to holistically assess students' readiness across life factors, individual attributes, and technical skills. Success coaches then reviewed the results with students to provide targeted resources and guidance. Since its implementation, Somerset Community College has seen a 25.1% increase in student persistence, demonstrating the significant impact of SmarterServices' tool on student success and confidence.
