1. Introduction

The purpose of this Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is to systematically address the gaps identified during the recent evaluation of the SayPro program. This plan outlines the necessary corrective actions to improve program effectiveness, ensure the achievement of goals, and enhance participant satisfaction.

2. Identified Gaps and Issues

Based on feedback from stakeholders, performance indicators, and program evaluations, the following gaps have been identified:

Gap 1: Low Job Placement Rate

• Issue: The program’s job placement rate fell short of the target (70% vs. 75% target).
• Cause: Insufficient employer partnerships, lack of industry-specific opportunities, and limited career counseling for graduates.

Gap 2: Limited Employer Satisfaction

• Issue: Only 75% of employers reported satisfaction with program graduates, indicating a gap in meeting employer expectations.
• Cause: Graduates’ skills, though solid, lacked certain industry-specific competencies.

Gap 3: Technology Accessibility Challenges

• Issue: Some beneficiaries reported difficulty accessing online resources due to limited technology access.
• Cause: The program’s online modules were not optimized for mobile devices, and some participants faced financial barriers to accessing computers or the internet.

Gap 4: Insufficient Post-Program Support

• Issue: Graduates expressed the need for ongoing career support after program completion.
• Cause: Lack of a structured post-program follow-up or continued engagement with graduates.

Gap 5: Limited Duration of Training

• Issue: Some beneficiaries requested a longer duration of training to cover more advanced skills or certifications.
• Cause: Program duration was designed to be brief and focused on introductory training, limiting the scope for advanced career development.
