Formative Evaluator's Report: Bridging the Gap, Phase II

5. Information Sharing Session

This is the initial screening process to identify who will participate in the skills development component. The Information Sharing Session would provide an overview of the model, the funding criteria, a brief description of the skills development component, and the job duties as they relate to the skill sets of the partnering company.

6. Assessment and Selection Process

Thorough Psycho-Educational Assessments would be conducted on applicants screened from the Information Sharing Session. A subcommittee from the CLN would consult and decide on the most suitable applicants based on the needs of the model and the partnering company.

7. Design and Adjust the Skills Development Component

An accredited Educational provider (Post-Secondary School) with the Department of Education would work with the CLN to design and deliver the academic/workplace skills enhancement component based around the needs of the training participants and partnering company.

8. Academic/Workplace Skills Enhancement (Delivery)

Detailed skill set enhancement related to industry. Participants would receive a combination of classroom time and technical/practical skill set development. All academic components are linked to the employment site.

9. Ongoing/Final Evaluation

Evaluation is an important component of the model and helps determine the effectiveness of your project.
