Skills for Life — Month 6 Mid-Term Monitoring Report
Developed a comprehensive mid-term monitoring and reporting
package for a simulated 12-month youth economic empowerment programme,
assessing implementation progress against programme targets and translating
monitoring data into actionable management insights.
Key deliverables:
• Performance Monitoring: Tracked nine programme indicators
across participant registration, training delivery, completion, skills
assessment and post-training support, including achievement analysis and
performance status.
• Budget Monitoring: Analysed an ₦8 million programme
budget, tracking expenditure, variance and utilisation across five budget
lines.
• M&E Dashboard: Developed an Excel dashboard presenting
key performance indicators, Target vs Actual analysis, budget utilisation and
traffic-light performance status.
• Mid-Term Reporting: Produced a structured donor-style
monitoring report covering programme performance, financial utilisation,
accountability and community feedback, implementation challenges, corrective
actions and recommendations.
Key finding: Market and employer linkages stood at 31
against a target of 50, representing 62% achievement and the most significant
performance gap at mid-term. The analysis informed targeted recommendations to
strengthen employer partnerships and expand market linkage opportunities during
Months 7–12.
I started The Second Shift because I know exactly what it is to find yourself mid-career and struggling to stay in the workforce.
When I met my co-founder Jenny we bonded over the frustration that so many women in our time of life feel - pushed out of the full time workforce even though we were still efficient and effective. Why weren't companies taking advantage of us by offering some flexibility? We started talking to forward-thinking companies who understood this, and built a company around this idea.
Fast forward 10+ years and more roles roles now come with some level of flexibility, which gives our members more opportunities to work with companies on longer and more complex jobs. We have also grown our elite membership to over 3500 extra ordinary women - all fully vetted so that we know they can hit the ground running on any job.
Most importantly we have been acquired by Sinecure, inc, the technology-powered talent advisory, which gives us the reach, technology and infrastructure to dramatically scale that impact.
