Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Contractor will conduct human-centered design research on the three key transition points: secondary to postsecondary education, postsecondary education to the workforce, and reentry to higher education. We believe that success for Texas means real opportunity with real outcomes for all Texans. Therefore in this design project, we will need to focus particular attention on students and populations who have not been well-served, including African American, Hispanic, rural, and economically disadvantaged students. Understanding the challenges these students face should be central to the initial fieldwork and analysis. Designing for students “on the edge” will help us build frameworks and systems that serve our entire population and lead to better opportunities and outcomes for all Texans
