Program Review for Career and Technical Programs

Every successful organization must continually determine if it is accomplishing what it sets out to do. Student outcomes assessment within career and technical programs is comprised of two main components: assessment of program specific outcomes and workplace skills assessment.

Program reviews include an overall evaluation of many aspects of the programs, and also address program-specific student learning outcomes and direct measurements of them.

Programs are scheduled to be completed on a four-year cycle. The Program Review Committee has developed a handbook and sample surveys to assist programs.
