- Produce a report of evaluation findings and recommendations for the learning and engagement programme at the end of year 3 of the project, assessing the success of the project activities against a set of key outcomes and advise on any improvements needed to ensure project outcomes. At the end of year 3, produce an end of project evaluation report, including a final review of all project activity and evaluation, identifying what impact the project has had and assessing the quality and value of training. The report will assess the success of the project activities against a set of key outcomes and review the original aims and objectives of the project and assess if these have been met.
