Sharing Metrics and Return on Investment with Employers (City Colleges of Chicago)

  • In some instances, data is shared with employers to demonstrate program effectiveness. For example, bi-weekly, Olive-Harvey offers training for a commercial learner’s permit. This class has been found to consistently have an 80% passing rate for all participants. This information is shared with employers to help them evaluate program design. 
  • When recruiting new employers, Olive-Harvey shares metrics from previous successful engagements with employers, such as the retention, hiring, and/or completion rates of apprenticeship programs.
