AbOUT InsideTrack

InsideTrack is the nation’s premier provider of executive-style coaching for college students, designed to enable all students to maximize their college experience and graduate prepared for career success. Over the past decade, InsideTrack has developed a rigorous, proven methodology focused on motivating the attitudes and behaviors that enable students to achieve their goals. Students meet with their personal InsideTrack Coach several times each month; have access to proprietary online videos, assessments, and tools; and engage with their Coach between meetings through a variety of interactive media.

InsideTrack's clients include a broad range of for-profit, non-profit, and public universities serving both traditional and adult students, including Penn State University, the University of Dayton, Florida State University, and Chapman University.

InsideTrack enables success in individuals and across institutions:

Using InsideTrack data, Stanford University Associate Professor Eric Bettinger and doctoral student Rachel Baker conducted a study providing evidence that coaching—or comprehensive, one-on-one mentoring — is a proven, cost-effective solution for improving student outcomes:
- Coached students retain at a 10 to 15 percent higher rate than non-coached students over a 24-month period.
- Cohorts for which graduation data was available show a 13 percent higher rate of completion.
- Coaching is a more cost-effective way to achieve retention gains when compared to previously studied interventions such as increased financial aid.

InsideTrack Coaching has been proven to increase university enrollment, retention, and graduation rates in formal evaluations of randomly selected, demographically balanced student groups. These results have been replicated successfully in more than 55 evaluations involving more than 21,000 students. Studies have also shown that students who work with InsideTrack are more effective in balancing the demands of work, family, and school; are more satisfied with their college experience; and are better positioned to advance their career opportunities or continue to graduate school after college.

InsideTrack also enables administrators to understand and prioritize improvement initiatives by providing real-time feedback about how students experience the university. InsideTrack aggregates data captured from thousands of Coach/student interactions using Catalyst, a proprietary CRM application, and gives universities actionable insights that enable them to continuously improve. Further, InsideTrack Coaching differentiates the university in the eyes of students, prospective students, and employers by taking an intensive interest in the success of each student, demonstrating a strong commitment to developing his or her full potential.
