Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The Career Connections program is managed by the Bureau of 
Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) Office of Alumni Affairs OAA. 
Started in 2019, the Career Connections program brings together 
American alumni (18-35 years old) of U.S. Government-sponsored exchange 
programs with expert career coaches, professionals from diverse fields, 
and international leaders to help alumni market their international 
exchange experiences. Delivered as two-day seminars across the country, 
the Career Connections program provides invaluable networking 
opportunities for U.S. alumni with leaders in their communities with 
activities including: resume-building, developing a personal brand, 
translating skills gained through the exchange experience, developing 
an online presence, and networking to develop connections with fellow 
alumni and expert speakers alike.
    ECA's Evaluation Division will undertake an internal evaluation of 
the Career Connections program. The purpose of this evaluation is to 
inform the next iteration of the award with participant-driven 
recommendations on how to strengthen the Career Connections program. 
The Evaluation Division will survey participants of Career Connections 
participants along with a small sample of alumni that have not 
participated in seminars, as well as conduct key-informant interviews 
with alumni and seminar presenters.

Methodology

    As existing project monitoring data does not cover the topics being 
investigated sufficiently, it is necessary to collect information 
directly from program alumni to fully understand how the Career 
Connections program can be strengthened and what the immediate outcomes 
for participants are. While alumni who have participated in the Career 
Connections program will receive an online survey, a small number will 
also be invited to participate in individual interviews to explore key 
issues in greater depth. The survey will also be sent to a small sample 
of alumni that have not participated in Career Connections seminars to 
understand why they haven't participated and how they could be enticed 
to in the future. Finally, as ECA wishes to understand best practices 
in professional development training, a small group of seminar 
presenters will be invited to participate in individual interviews to 
discuss what they feel could be strengthened.

Director, Office of Directives Management, Department of State.
