This document presents some of the basic principles and sample indicators of performance management that may help practitioners interested in monitoring and evaluation for youth-workforce development projects that are market driven. It also highlights experiences from three PLP partners in measuring causal-model indicators and the specific lessons they learned.

This publication is part of a series resulting from the SEEP Network “Youth Workforce Development: Using 100% Market-Driven Programs to Achieve 100% Employment” Practitioner Learning Program (PLP). The objective of the program is to identify, encourage, and disseminate the replicable strategies for market-driven programs that improve youth employment success and measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
