Evaluation of The Appalachian Regional Commission's Vocational Education and Workforce Training Projects.

摘要

Within the context of large-scale policy changes in the goals, resources, and implementation of national vocational education and workforce training programs, the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) directs a relatively small grants program aimed at these same issues. As government performance reporting requirements for nationwide vocational education programs are increased, the Commission is focusing on evaluating the implementation and achievements of its projects, as well as the parallel performance reporting systems they employ, to improve the program overall and its individual projects. This report summarizes findings from an evaluation of vocational education and workforce training projects funded by ARC between 1995 and 2000.
