Acknowledgements
This study was conducted by Goss Gilroy Inc., under the direction of and
for the Evaluation and Data Development (EDD) Directorate of the Department of
Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC). The team that Goss Gilroy Inc. put
together was largely responsible for the development of the methodological
approach, the collection of information and data and the analysis of the data
and information collected.
EDD officials would like to thank all those who contributed to the study,
especially the Summer Career Placements Program clients who spent a considerable
amount of time sharing information about their summer experience. We would also
like to thank all of the individuals who participated by giving an interview to
the evaluators, for similarly taking the time to provide the qualitative
information necessary to provide depth to a process evaluation.
We are grateful to the managers and staff at the national headquarters Youth
Initiatives Directorate who assisted in the completion of the
evaluation.
