EDA Workforce Data Collection Instrument

Notes to Inform the Reasoning of Questionnaires Design

• Reasonable opportunity to measure quality and mobility job metrics with individual tracking vs inclusion in the survey

• It is important we measure demographics against outcomes, over time to see equity variables. We would do this at the individual level. Very hard to do at the training provider level.

• Ideally, we use a data survey platform that would store permanent answers to data fields e.g., core characteristics and use pipe text/auto fill from grant applicant information we already have
