In partnership with IPPS-Iscte, the project coordinator, and CIES-Iscte, CoLABOR will assess the extent to which European funds have contributed to increasing intermediate-level qualifications among young people, as well as improving their employability and integration into the labor market.
To meet these objectives, the Intermediate Level Qualifications Assessment project consortium employs a coordinated set of research methods, namely: Theory of Change; Counterfactual Impact Analysis; and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA).
The methodological approach adopted allows for combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, exploring different levels of analysis, and promoting the triangulation of evidence, reinforcing the robustness, validity, and usefulness of the conclusions produced.
This evaluation is part of the PT2030 Global Evaluation Plan and the PEOPLE 2030 Evaluation Plan.
