Number of NSF-funded learners that are employed or self-employed within one to two years after completion of their education and training.

The accuracy, completeness and validity of the indicator depend on the availability of evaluation reports for each of the skills development initiatives or group of skills development initiatives funded by the NSF, as well as on the accuracy, completeness and validity of learner data. The number of the NSF-funded learners that are employed after successful completion of their education and training may be determined through extrapolation of the results of representative samples of the learner population evaluated for employment or self-employment as contained in the evaluation reports.
