Research & EvaluationWHEDCO views Urban Horizons not only as a service center, but also an economic development "laboratory," where we can devise and test avenues to opportunity. We have a firm commitment to tracking participant outcomes. The data we gather not only informs our program planning, but also makes us more effective teachers and advocates in the broader field of community development and social welfare policy. We feel strongly that a professional and highly experienced staff must be supported with a strong, state-of-the-art technology base. Technology enables us to serve our clients more effectively and efficiently, and to better determine the efficacy of our programs. WHEDCO's technological capacity has expanded rapidly over the past year. Upgrades in hardware, software, and telecommunications, in addition to staff training and development, have positively impacted all program areas and administrative functions. |
