Building a Knowledge Bridge: School Counselors Collaborating with Construction Professionals on Career Development

How they used Delve

A Doctor of Education candidate at Youngstown State University used Delve, including its AI analysis, to analyze Zoom focus-group transcripts from school counselors and construction professionals about collaborating on students' career development, with the facilitators reviewing Delve's output for patterns across the testimonials.

“The transcripts were collected using Zoom as the video conferencing platform and analyzed utilizing Delve software. The facilitators of the focus groups then reviewed the data from Delve in pursuit of patterns and trends from the testimonials. [...] The collection of these qualitative stories were analyzed electronically with Delve, a computer-based artificial intelligence analysis tool.”
