Build a Research + Design engine capable of developing breakthrough products and practices that can be applied at scale to solve the postsecondary transition.
BUILDING A GENERATION
OF GRADUATES
Over the past 10 years, OneGoal has built a model that is producing college completion outcomes that outpace the middle class and has grown from 32 students in 2007 to serving some 13,000 students in the 2018-19 school year. Yet our nation is not on pace to close the degree divide within our lifetime. Therefore, we must transform our business in order to accelerate the pace of change.
Phase III is a five-year strategic plan to build products, practices, and partnerships capable of solving this problem at scale. There are two connected parts of our plan:
BUILD AN
R+D ENGINE
EXPAND
IMPACT
Extend our impact by both growing our core model where demand exists and experimenting with new, more scalable delivery models to be leveraged in Phase IV.
2018-2022 TOPLINE GOALS
1
COMPLETION RATE
We will drive towards reaching a projected 60% combined completion rate (example: 50% bachelor’s, 10% associates + technical certifications) for our incoming students in the final year of our plan. If we hit the target, OneGoal alumni will achieve the highest postsecondary completion rate in the nation for any comparable network of schools.
2
DIRECT SCALE
We will directly serve between 20,000-25,000 students annually by the end of Phase III. If we hit the target, OneGoal will be directly serving nearly 1% of the addressable market nationally, with the potential to serve up to an additional 10% indirectly through high school partners.
3
NEW DELIVERY MODELS
We will design new delivery models that have the potential to dramatically expand our impact in Phase IV and beyond—both directly and/or indirectly—to the 300,000-400,000 students that attend a partner high school. The potential for long-term change is extraordinary.
FOUR PRIORITIES TO REACH OUR GOALS
Transform our resources to be proportional to the depth and complexity of the problem.
Pursue demand-driven growth.
Design new delivery models to expand impact in Phase IV.
Build an organization capable of driving enduring change.
HELP US GET THERE
LEADERS
We need diverse, talented staff members to help us innovate and grow, and excellent teachers to lead OneGoal in their schools.
PARTNERS
We need more high schools and postsecondary institutions to work in coalition to achieve this vision of postsecondary success for all students.
BELIEVERS
We need community and business leaders who understand the stakes and share our belief in all students and commitment to solve degree divide in our lifetime.
