Key measurements for the success of the NetHope Academy Internship Program were tied to actual outcomes, including:
- Percent of graduates employed or becoming an entrepreneur within 90 days of completing the program completion; targeted 80 percent
- Percent of female participants in the program; targeted 20 percent
- Percent of others who have been historically “disadvantaged” (disabled, impacted by Ebola, natives of rural areas, etc.) in the IT sector in the regions in which we run the program (Note: it was more difficult to track who was “disadvantaged,” as many of our students come from quite poor backgrounds and we didn’t have strict assessment criteria for this outcome)
