14. Stakeholder Involvement What mechanisms are used, if any, to involve key stakeholders involved in the development, delivery or evaluation of the initiative? Which groups of stakeholders are involved?

On-going assessment and feedback is essential. The same company standards and performance expectations as for normal employees determine intern performance evaluations. In addition, a performance evaluation is required for each intern. Each work-site completes a end-term performance appraisal. The appraisal is reviewed and signed off by both the intern and employer with a copy forwarded by the employer to the Regional Coordinator’s office for file.
