program evaluation business consulting researchOne of the main differentiators between NOSTOS and other veterans' initiatives is that we will be measuring efficacy throughout the program and in the years beyond.
Our need is for a survey of best practices in program evaluation that would be accompanied by a recommended course of action.
Considerations: What factors can be effectively evaluated in the short and long term? What mode should we use to capture metrics after the formal part of the NOSTOS program is complete? How do we evaluate entities who partner with NOSTOS?
About the company
The purpose of NOSTOS - A Veteran's Journey* is to enable post 9/11 Special Operations Forces (SOF) and military personnel to transition successfully into civilian life; to be able to use the unique skills borne of their military service to proactively advance their lives; to re-engage in their home communities and pursue personal visions of their future life after military service.
We are a national organization with local community engagement. NOSTOS is a collaboration between public, private and non-profit support networks that utilizes a proactive framework of evidence-based methods and practices. We leverage technology to facilitate communication, feedback and evaluation and take a customized approach to each individual veteran and his/her family. *NOSTOS is a Greek word meaning “the journey home” in which returning warriors rediscover their identity within themselves and the community enabling a transformation from a war machine to a person of family and community.
