This guide was prepared by the Marin County Private Industry Council (PIC) to evaluate the nature, operation, and success of various training programs. Programs that can be evaluated with the procedures in this guide range from pre-employment or prevocational preparatory courses to specific employee skill education activities of all kinds that occur in schools, on the job, at home, or in a combination of these places. The following kinds of information are included in this plan: (1) the role of the Private Sector Initiative Program (PSIP) and the PIC in evaluating training activities, as set up by Title VII of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA); (2) background of the training process; (3) the various forms in which training occurs; (4) goals of the training evaluation process; (5) training stages in which evaluation can occur; (6) the form of an evaluation procedure; (7) evaluator's survey questionnaire formats; (8) post-survey evaluation and followup steps; (9) program administration and management needs; and (10) samples of forms and materials.
