For Universities
Inspiring and engaging young learners can be a real challenge. Assessing the impact of this is even harder.
We’re here to help. Our bespoke partnerships with universities fall into three categories: Strategy and Design, Evaluation and Reporting, and Training.
Strategy and Design
Working with young learners is not like working with undergraduates.
Realising this difference is just the first step. We can work with you to build transformative programmes for young people that have substantive impact and exceed the expectations of regulators and funders.
Projects could include:
Full access programme design
Programme reviews
Shaping of goals
Embedding pedagogical practice
School and pupil targeting
Evaluation and Reporting
Evaluation is perhaps the most significant frontier within access and outreach, and rightly so.
At Opportuned, data is at the heart of what we do. We believe that a robust, evidence-based approach leads to greatest impact.
Evaluation projects could include:
Independent verification and analysis, including longitudinal and full programme life-cycle analysis
Quantitative and qualitative impact analysis
Literature reviews
Reporting for donors and funders
Focus groups
Survey design
Training
Seeking external expertise can mean that internal staff never gain the knowledge they need to continue pushing the boundaries of access. We’re different. When you work with us on a project, staff training is embedded into our work.
We create bespoke training plans for partners, as well as running routine training courses
Training can includes
Introduction to Evaluation
Developing a Theory of Change
Teaching skills for outreach delivery staff
Data analysis and survey toolkits
Let’s Work Together.
Whether you’re a university, school or college, we’ll take the time to understand you and your priorities.
