● Year Up utilizes structured data collection tools to track intern progress and technical development. This includes weekly check-ins and formal performance evaluations where managers provide specific feedback on an intern’s growth, ensuring they are meeting the expectations of the role and the program.
● Beyond intern performance, the organization surveys employer partners to gather feedback on their overall experience with the program. These surveys assess the quality of engagement with Year Up staff and the effectiveness of the partnership.
● Year Up monitors metrics such as placement and retention rates to measure long-term impact. The organization maintains direct engagement with alumni for at least four months post-graduation to track career outcomes, while offering lifetime support through a dedicated alumni programming network.
● All data is captured and analyzed using Salesforce and Tableau.
