This presentation from the 2011 AEA conference presents the results of a survey administered to AEA's Graduate Student and New Evaluators Topical Interest Group. Respondents were asked about their training experiences, their confidence in certain skills and knowledge, and the components of their training in evaluation that had the greatest impact on the development of a certain set of competencies. A paired comparison analysis was conducted to assess the differences between the contributions of elements of a training program to the development of each competency. Analysis shows cultivating a well-trained evaluator requires a variety of training program components. However, the training component considered to be most important differed according to which competency was being developed. #TeachingofEvaluation #2011Conference #EvaluatorCompetencies
