Together, the Boston Foundation, the Boston Public Schools, the City of Boston, the Boston Private Industry Council, 37 institutions of higher education, led by UMass Boston and Bunker Hill Community College, and local nonprofit partners are working to increase college completion for Boston’s students. In 2014, the Boston Foundation received a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service to expand transition coaching, a core program of Success Boston. This $6 million Social Innovation Fund award provided the resources necessary to expand Success Boston’s transition coaching model from serving 300 to 1,000 students from each of the Boston Public Schools classes of 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. In 2022, Success Boston partners recommitted to the postsecondary success of all of Boston’s students, including the original goal of 70% college completion, and launched a new equity framework to guide the initiative. Central to it is a commitment to do whatever it takes to position all students, particularly Black and Latino students, for success, including a collective will to tackle structural barriers and build systems that are asset-based, deliver equitable outcomes, serve students effectively, and value their cultural wealth.  \nAbout the Boston Private Industry Council (PIC)  \nThe Boston Private Industry Council (PIC) is the city’s Workforce Development Board and school-to-career intermediary. The PIC’s mission is to strengthen Boston’s communities and its workforce by connecting youth and adults with education and employment opportunities that align with the diverse needs of area employers. ThePIC connects youth and adults with work and learning opportunities, conducts and analyzes labor market research, convenes industry groups to align education and hiring priorities and to develop pathways, measures the quality and outcomes of its initiatives, and recommends policy changes based on the results of its activities. For over 40 years, the PIC has collaborated with the Boston Public Schools, higher education, government, labor, and community organizations to develop and implement strategic priorities for increasing education, training, and employment options for Boston residents.  \nAcknowledgments  \nThe author would like to thank Marsha Inniss-Mitchell for serving as the Boston Public Schools (BPS) sponsor for this research project. In addition, I am grateful to Lauren Meissner and Roshni Wadhwani from the BPS Office of Data & Accountability (ODA) for preparing the data files used in this research and Isabel Lopez (also from ODA) for providing feedback on the draft report. This report would not be possible without support from the Boston Foundation. A special thanks to Antoniya Marinova for providing feedback along the way and getting this study to the “finish line.” Last, but not least, thanks to my former PIC colleague Chris Harrop for assisting with the initial research proposal and preliminary data analysis.  \n[Cover Photograph: Sam Balye / Unsplash / sambalye.com](Cover Photograph: Sam Balye / Unsplash / sambalye.com)  \n© 2023 by the Boston Foundation.
