Free Webinar. Tools for Training Program Evaluation.  Tue, Oct 04, 2022 at 12PM Pacific / 3PM Eastern  | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
You’re ready to figure out whether your training programs are working, worth the investment of time and other resources, and meeting their goals. What tools do you need to conduct a training program evaluation?  

Program evaluation is about applying systematic methods to collect, analyze, interpret, and communicate data about a program to understand its design, implementation, outcomes, or impacts. Simply put, it’s about asking good questions, gathering the right data, and using what we learn to make good decisions.

A robust program description and logic model are powerful tools that can inform a program evaluation plan. Well-designed surveys and focus groups are some of the most used tools for data collection. In this session Sheila will provide a brief overview of five phases of program evaluation and dive into key considerations for creating these tools.

What Are We Learning from Business Training and Entrepreneurship Evaluations around the Developing World?

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

Business training programs are a popular policy option to try to improve the performance of enterprises around the world. The last few years have seen rapid growth in the number of evaluations of these programs in developing countries. We undertake a critical review of these studies with the goal of synthesizing the emerging lessons and understanding the limitations of the existing research and the areas in which more work is needed.

UK. Defining and measuring training activity

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

The research shows that whilst employers do not use the descriptors of ‘on-the job’ and ‘off-the-job’ training themselves, they understand and were able consistently to apply these definitions to their own workplaces. The research tested a number of alternative formulations of the training questions but there was not one which generally thought to be more useful and easier to apply to their workplace. Because of this we are reassured; the data we produce on training accurately reflect the training position amongst UK employers.
