MONITOR M&E VIDEO
The Manual defines a series of outcomes relevant to employability and outlines programme processes which are required to lead to such outcomes. It provides scales with which to measure outcomes and explains how to interpret the data. It emphasises the important differences between validated and non-validated scales and their use. Because not all sport-for-employability organisations have experience in collecting and processing data, we have included an M&E video that explains this in greater detail. The video was prepared by Mr John Taylor from the University of Stirling (UK). Processing survey data obtained from the scales can be completed using Excel spreadsheets that are prepared for the Manual and provided separately.
