To further build the evidence around effective strategies for helping individuals with low incomes find and sustain employment, the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is sponsoring the Next Generation of Enhanced Employment Strategies (NextGen) Project. This project is identifying and testing innovative, promising employment interventions designed to help individuals facing complex challenges secure a pathway toward economic independence. The Work Success program is one program that is being evaluated under the NextGen Project. Work Success, implemented in Utah, aims to assist adults with low incomes find a job. It combines intensive group and individual coaching with workshops on topics such as resume writing, job search strategies, and interviewing skills. The evaluation of Work Success is exploring the implementation of the program and its impacts on study participants’ self-regulation skills, employment, earnings, self-sufficiency, and other measures of well-being. The evaluation is being conducted by Mathematica. |
