What is the Case Competition?
Running for over twenty years, the Student Evaluation Case Competition is a two-round annual Canadian competition that helps post-secondary students build and showcase their program evaluation skills. Through the use of real-world programs and cases, students work in teams to respond to a request for proposals over a limited time period.
“The Case Competition provided an excellent opportunity for me to advance my communication, teamwork, and evaluation skills. It was the best experience of my graduate studies!”
“The Case Competition has become a very important component in our program. It is a perfect way to illustrate the ‘real-world’ issues of evaluation and better prepare students for their eventual careers. ”
