Program assessment is highly useful for individuals to measure the progress, success, and impact of a program. However, there is not much scrutiny involving relationships between academia, industry, the public sector, civil society, and the natural environment. Therefore, this concept paper aims to enhance understanding, learning and existing knowledge regarding GRIT program assessment based on the expectations of the Quintuple Helix Model. This model encompasses all these environments systematically so that the effectiveness of a program can be evaluated. It helps determine whether a program meets its stated objectives and identifies any improvements needed. Additionally, program assessment involves a systematic process to evaluate program performance and provide information on its achievements, effects, and effectiveness. Program assessment implementation involves six systematic steps: preparing for data collection, collecting data, analysing data, reporting results, utilizing study findings, and revising. This paper focuses on challenges and strategies in implementing assessment besides anticipating the impact of GRIT program assessment based on the Quintuple Helix Model. Program assessment implementation is not always smooth and may involve several challenges. However, with appropriate strategies, these challenges can be overcome to ensure successful assessment. Among the challenges discussed are data collection challenges, time constraints, assessment instruments, and data management and personal confidentiality. Expectations of GRIT program assessment based on the Quintuple Helix Model covering academia, industry, the public sector, civil society, and the natural environment are also discussed. Those involved in the assessment need to work together to address these challenges and ensure that the assessment can be successfully implemented to provide valuable information for program improvement. Further research proposals that can be developed from this concept include enhancing the quality of program assessment involving more stakeholders and other environments besides those outlined in the Quintuple Helix Model.
