Evaluation

The NTSC has developed a 9-step process for conducting program evaluations, in 16 teaching modules. Career development professionals can use this model to educate themselves on program evaluation, or to train others.


As the graphic below illustrates, the 9-step process encompasses four stages: planning, development, implementation and feedback.  Follow the links for more information on the teaching modules in each step.
