Using Spreadsheets in Program Evaluation

A free online certificate course about key concepts, tools and techniques required to manage, analyze and visualize quantitative data for a youth program evaluation.

We know that the Ontario youth sector is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of young people, providing them with the skills and resources they need to make positive contributions to their communities.


WHY SPREADSHEETS?
We understand that youth workers often have to wear multiple hats - they are responsible for running programs AND sharing the impacts of their programs to their stakeholders - including parents and caregivers, funders and youth themselves. We believe that working with quantitative data does not need to be time-consuming or labour-intensive. In this certificate, participants will learn the key concepts, tools and techniques required to manage and analyze quantitative data for a youth program to share numbers representing impact.


WORK AT YOUR OWN PACE

We recognize that youth sector workers are very busy and, because of this, we structured the course in a way that is flexible and easy for you to complete. Therefore, all course content is available to you at once, which will allow you the opportunity to work through the modules at your own pace.
