• Produce a report of evaluation findings and recommendations for the learning and engagement programme at the end of year 3 of the project, assessing the success of the project activities against a set of key outcomes and advise on any improvements needed to ensure project outcomes. At the end of year 3, produce an end of project evaluation report, including a final review of all project activity and evaluation, identifying what impact the project has had and assessing the quality and value of training.
