Subject: P/PV's Benchmarking Project Is Seeking Participating
Organizations

Dear Colleagues, 

P/PV is pleased to make the following announcement: 

 

 

 

 

 

 


> The Performance Benchmarking Project is seeking organizations to

participate in the next round of data collection beginning in April
2008. 
P/PV is developing a tool that allows similar organizations to
anonymously compare their job placement and retention outcomes. A
long-term goal of the project is to identify meaningful outcome
benchmarks for the workforce development field, so that practitioners,
funders and policymakers can be better informed about what constitutes
"good" performance when working with diverse populations and service
delivery strategies. 

We are also supporting a learning community of participating
organizations to share effective strategies for improving program
results. Project participants will benefit from a variety of online and
face-to-face learning activities. 

To be eligible, organizations must directly provide workforce
development services to individuals 18 or older and be able to submit
aggregate data on job placement and retention results, services and
participant characteristics for a recent one-year cohort of enrollees.
For a summary of the requested data, please click here

benchmarking at ppv.org, or contact Marty Miles at 212-822-2413. 

 

 

 


As always, thank you for your interest. 

Sincerely,
