SJI’s Policy Research and Evaluation team’s work complements our program efforts and allows us to achieve a far greater impact than we could through program services alone. The team works in these three interrelated areas:
Workforce Research
Engage key stakeholders and use data to analyze workforce needs, equity, and career pathways.
Program Evaluation
Improve program implementation and impact.
Needs Assessment
Learn who your target community is, their needs, and how to serve them better.
