Overview

We are pleased to offer a one-day online workshop on survey research for public and non-profit sector professionals, the first such course offered in Canada.

This one-day course is designed to introduce public and non-profit sector professionals to the basic principles and practical understanding required to conduct effective survey research, whether in-house or through commissioned work. Survey research can be used for a range of uses, including surveys of employees and stakeholders, program evaluation, surveys of the general public (or targeted segments of it), market research, and as a key tool for social marketing and behaviour change. The course will be delivered by CEPSM Associate & Principal at KNeuman Survey Insights, Keith Neuman, one of Canada’s most accomplished survey research professionals with 40 years of experience across the public, private and non-profit sectors.
