Using state-of-the-art methodology, we use program evaluation to promote evidence based-interventions and policies fostering workforce development.
We use quantitative and mixed methods to answer the following questions:
- Which programs are the most effective to address the targeted outcomes?
- Is the program at hand effective in achieving the desired results?
- Do program effects vary across subgroups of individuals?
- What are the best implementation strategies and effective delivery systems to meet the needs of diverse populations?
- How does the program achieve its effect? Through which mechanisms? What are the successful components of the program? What components are counterproductive and should be revised or deleted?
- If the program is not found to be effective, what were the obstacles? How can we address them?
- Is the program well-implemented? What challenges and opportunities existed during the implementation phase? What were the barriers/facilitators to implementation of program activities?
- Which optimization strategies can be used to make the program cost- and outcome-effective?
