Data and Evidence Gathering: Strategies and Challenges

Local intermediary organizations perform key connecting and brokering functions linking schools, employers, and young people. How does such an organization measure its effectiveness and use data and evidence in support of intermediary activities and initiatives?

This School-to-Work Intermediary Project issue brief describes the activities of Intermediary Network members to address data and evidence concerns. It also draws lessons from the efforts of these members as they have sought to design and implement data- and evidence-gathering systems that could help them make their case to others and improve their performance over time.
