2.2 Survey Design

A survey was undertaken to gather a range of information from SSA scholarship winners about their SSA program and the usefulness of the scholarship, including the following:

• the extent to which they were satisfied with their SSA experience (including the levels of support received from their employers, school staff and others), benefits gained as a result of participation in the SSA program and whether they had suggestions for improvements to the program;
• positive effects of and/or value of the scholarship opportunity as an incentive;
• primary uses of and satisfaction with amount of scholarship award;
• employment outcomes, including current employment status and whether SSA scholarship winners had experienced any difficulties in becoming an apprentice.

The survey was developed in consultation with the Career Programs Evaluation Steering Committee.
