Description

Expressions of interest are sought to support with the design and delivery of an evaluation of the Employer Led Digital Training Initiatives pilots. The contractor will be appointed to conduct a process evaluation of the current wave of bootcamps and to design a possible impact evaluation of the second round of bootcamps. This evaluation will support the Department to understand if these initiatives are meeting their anticipated outcomes and to gather data on their implementation to inform future roll-out.

The evaluation will use monitoring data submitted by providers, alongside qualitative data collected via stakeholder interviews to understand participant, provider and employer experiences and assess if the programme meets its expected outcomes.
