Evaluation Cafe featuring Carl E. Hanssen

Evaluation in Corporate Contexts: Making the Transition from Education to Training With a decline in federal and state funding for educational evaluation in recent years many evaluators may be seeking new channels. Fortunately, the corporate marketplace has long been moving in the direction of data-driven decision-making which is a perfect fit for evaluator skills. This session will explore some of the key differences between evaluating educational programs and learning programs in corporate contexts. Topics to be discussed include common evaluation models, needed skills and education, terminology, and what to expect when working in corporate settings. The presenter has over 30 years of experience evaluating educational programs and corporate training and was a staff member at The Evaluation Center in the 1990's and early 2000's.
