Sinclair has five administrative support staff members involved with the project, including one position dedicated to the program. Industry training is delivered primarily by Sinclair faculty members. Personnel changes have been few and have resulted in a strong working relationship between the partners. The program is endorsed from upper-level leaders of both organizations and has become a critical partner in the local community. Although turnover is low, when a staff member does leave, the change in personnel can affect the relationship.
Evaluation is ongoing with participants evaluating as they complete each section.
In addition, officials from the company evaluate the program annually. The partnership has brought new understanding in terms of roles and goals in developing the workforce. The importance of allowing faculty to grow and develop, to keep abreast with real world situations, and to gain a broader range of experiences, perspectives, and applications has been reinforced.
