2021-2022 EEAP Evaluation Recommendations

The following recommendations are based on the findings of the 2021-2022 evaluation.

Apprentice Selection

• Clearly communicate to potential apprentices recruited through current CFSRP partners the differences between CFSRP and EEAP

POST-PROGRAM SUPPORT

• After connecting graduates with institutes of higher education, utilize data sharing agreements to understand graduates’ postprogram academic outcomes

• Follow up with graduates to track post-program outcomes including career and educational progression, wage increases, and duration with their center and the field

Evaluation Procedures

• Consistently measure and report on all apprentices’ classroom quality at beginning and end of year, with the capacity for rapid response and improvement before end of year or end of program

• Standardize wage reporting on a consistent, hourly basis

• Collect standardized reasons for leaving the program in apprentice exit interviews
