SayPro Information and Targets Needed for the Quarter
๐ Information and Target:
Follow-Up Success Stories and Retention Data
๐ฏ Objective
To gather and report compelling success stories and employment retention data of SayPro graduates after job placement or business launch. This information highlights long-term program impact, helps evaluate the sustainability of outcomes, strengthens partnerships, and showcases SayProโs value to funders, employers, and the public.
๐ Detailed Description
1. Definition and Scope
Follow-up success stories refer to documented, personal narratives of SayPro graduates who have achieved notable success after being placed in employment or starting their own businesses through SayPro support. These may include career growth, financial independence, community impact, or entrepreneurial achievements.
Retention data captures how many SayPro graduates remain employed or continue operating their businesses three to six months (or longer) after initial placement or launch. It reflects stability, job satisfaction, and sustainability of SayPro’s interventions.
2. Collection of Success Stories
Identify standout graduates who demonstrate exceptional performance, innovation, or impact.
Reach out for interviews, testimonials, and permission to document their journey (via text, photos, or videos).
Use a structured storytelling format, including:
Graduate background (training received at SayPro)
Placement or business launch experience
Challenges overcome
Achievements and impact made (e.g., income earned, community uplifted)
Future goals
Highlight diversity in sectors, locations, and gender to reflect the broad impact of SayProโs programs.
3. Collection of Retention Data
Conduct follow-up surveys or interviews 3, 6, and 12 months after placement or business launch.
Confirm current job or business status:
Still employed? Same employer/role?
If self-employed, is the business still active and generating income?
What support is still needed?
Use structured tools to capture:
Employment continuity (Yes/No)
Changes in job role or business size
Income progression
Job satisfaction and personal development
Update graduate records and use trends to identify dropout or job loss risks.
4. Target Setting
Retention Target: Aim for 70โ85% job or business retention at 3-month follow-up and above 60% at 6โ12 months.
Success Stories Target: Collect at least 10โ15 in-depth success stories per quarter, ensuring representation across training types and locations.
These targets help in evaluating program impact and guiding future placement and training strategies.
5. Utilization of Data
Program Improvement: Analyze retention data to determine which sectors, employers, or training modules yield the most sustainable outcomes.
Reporting: Use stories and data in quarterly reports, donor updates, and board presentations to highlight impact.
