Abstract

Governmentslsaquo;Perceptions of the importance of self--employment is underscored by the growing number of publicly--supported self--employment training schemes. This study contrasts findings from two Canadian case studies on self--employment programming. The scope of issues inherent in programme assessment are presented. Findings suggest that the make--up of the assessment team and methodology employed impact the criteria used and interpretation of programme effectiveness. Programme stakeholders include participants, training and programme delivery agents, policy--makers, unions, business owners, and employment equity groups. Recommendations include the use of more inclusive assessment criteria in monitoring programme impact, criteria that include changes to participantsrsaquo; lifestyle, work/family relationships, longer--term earning patterns, income stability, the quality of work life, etc. Evaluation criteria from which agencies can model future programme assessments including measurement characteristics of the costs and benefits for stakeholders are provided.
