One past participant said: "The India course is an extremely valuable experience both as a student and as a consultant. Not only were we able to evaluate our client's program and provide tangible recommendations for the client to improve programming and scale up provisions, but my team also learned so much in the process. Talking to beneficiaries, hearing about their needs and how the program was affecting their lives, and gathering data in the field was vital to really understanding the problem and providing useful and sustainable suggestions to the NGO. On top of that, gaining skills in conducting evaluations in a developing country and working with a client are great resume builders and extremely relevant to employers."
