Abstract:
The purpose of the Evaluation of Employment Coaching for TANF and Related Populations (0970-0506) is to describe select employment coaching interventions for low-income populations and estimate their effectiveness. ACF will use information from the evaluation to inform policymakers and practitioners interested in funding, designing, or implementing interventions to improve employment outcomes of low-income populations. The impact evaluation involves a randomized controlled trial in six sites. During baseline study enrollment, people eligible for employment coaching were randomized into a treatment group who were offered employment coaching and a control group who were not offered employment coaching. Two follow-up surveys will collect data on the outcomes of members of the treatment and control groups. The first follow-up survey is administered between 6 and 12 months after random assignment; the second follow-up survey is administered between 21 and 24 months after random assignment. As the timing of study enrollment varied by site, the survey data collection at each site proceeds on its own timeline.
