a
Academy students received intensive “career coaching” in the form of professional development activities delivered in a two-day in person meeting, supplemented by regular Web-conferencing and e-mail and social media communications over a 12-month period. Control students received no intervention.
b
Participants who “provided complete data” are those who completed the relevant questions in both the baseline and follow-up surveys.
