3. PROJECT OUTPUTS :
Project Outcome refers to what the project is expected to
achieve when it’s finished.
Outcome measures refer to the evidence you will use to
demonstrate that you have achieved (or are making
progress in achieving) your identified Project Outcomes.
Outputs are the tangible products or deliverables
produced by a project - either as the main focus of the
project or developed in the process of achieving broader
project outcomes. For example, the Final Report you
produce for this project will be a Project Output.
Outcomes may relate to your organisation, your
interactions with other organisations, to learners, and/or
your local community, depending on what your project is
about.
Project Outcomes must be directly or indirectly linked to
improvements for learners.
EXAMPLES OF PROJECT OUTCOMES

community
 Development of new learner pathways for retrenched

transitioning to further study or employment).
