Evaluation

Indigenous Youth Internship Program evaluation

The Indigenous Youth Internship Program (IYIP) is in its 18th year of positively impacting the BC Public Service and Indigenous communities. A vendor has been selected through BC Bid to conduct a program evaluation supported by the IYIP advisory committee, which includes representatives from the BC First Nations Summit, the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, Métis Nation BC and Indigenous BC Public Service employees. The committee guides and approves the evaluation framework, implementation and reporting. The evaluation involves conducting interviews and surveys with over 300 IYIP alumni, staff, supervisors, mentors and partner organizations.
