This symposium brings together evaluators and practitioners to share ideas, challenges, and methodologies for evaluating workforce development interventions and strategies across human services fields. For more than 20 years, the symposium (formerly known as the National Human Services Training Evaluation Symposium) has cultivated a unique learning space where attendees collaborate and support each other through constructive and respectful discussions. The symposium welcomes curiosity and a wide-range of experiences to enrich the exploration of challenges, innovative approaches to address these challenges, and new ways to approach future and/or ongoing work.
