Program Abstract: How do we increase institutional capacity to support workforce development and create pathways into STEM with internships for Latinx students across a community college district? The Maricopa Community College District, ASU Center for Broadening Participation in STEM started with a self-assessment tool created by ASU and Exelencia in Education to develop an assessment of their institutional capacity to support Latinx student servingness and their capacity to establish data-driven practices in various areas, including internships. Phoenix College is an HSI used as a testing site to create a program to distribute to other campuses in the district. Phoenix College is central to students' lives in the region and workforce development. This facilitated discussion highlights how student voices (e.g., surveys and interviews) as part of data-driven practice to implement internships, support student success (e.g., student support, culturally responsive pedagogy, recruitment, industry partners), and institutional data capacity.
