Evaluation
Continual evaluation is essential to maintaining effective initiatives in any sector
of the workforce development system and to adjusting policies to keep pace with
labor market changes. CETE provides customized evaluation services to produce credible
information that yields positive results.
- Data Collection and Analysis CETE staff members utilize various
research methods (e.g., surveys, site visits, focus groups, database applications,
content analysis, archival data analysis) to collect and interpret data. We combine
technological and technical expertise to design instruments, gather information,
and analyze results.
- Needs Assessment. CETE staff members work with multiple levels
within organizations to determine needs. Through methods including surveys and stakeholder
interviews, we examine discrepancies between current conditions and desired states
to identify needs and prioritize actions for needs-based solutions.
- Program, Personnel, and Program Evaluation. We address and determine
customized solutions to questions about program, personnel, and process effectiveness
through a combination of research-based approaches—both quantitative and qualitative.
We assist organizations in clarifying goals and in identifying appropriate measures
for determining achievement. We can work with you to ensure quality processes and
outcomes based on international quality standards.
