The WYHEC Training and Evaluation framework
The WYHEC Training and Evaluation framework was developed to enable the evaluation of impact of West Yorkshire and Harrogate Excellence Centre training and development interventions. The framework has been used with success. As well as providing a structure with which to collate evaluation data it has also enabled the production of reports and helped demonstrate key areas where the training has had an impact on individuals and the workplace. The impact and outcomes template is being used for projects that are being funded through the 2019/20 HEE Support staff Workforce Development Funding money. The ambition is that as a result of using this framework, we will be able to identify clear impact and outcomes as well as evaluation to inform whether the intervention has been value for money.
Key purpose of Training Evaluation:
- To obtain data on those who attended courses and popularity/appeal of course
- To evaluate the appropriateness and quality of training to support continuous quality improvement
- To assess whether learning has taken place (Level 1 Evaluation)
- To gain evidence of impact from attending training and data to demonstrate impact on others and workplace ( Level 2 and 3 Evaluation)
