I am looking for any real information on this, not I head that someone is working now, but this many students are doing x, this many are x, this many can't be found.

One of the NYC teams I mentor is involved with a FIRST program that tracks their progress from HS, college, and afterward.
The students have to fill out extensive forms about themselves, what their goals are, where they are going, and etc. Even has parent information.

Look like FIRST is putting a lot of effort in verifying that their program is making a difference.

But Anyway- two of my FIRST students are now interns with my company. Really hard workers and learns quick. (good price too)
They do as much work as the full-time engineers on my staff.
