"Tuning in to local labor markets: Findings from the Sectoral Employment Impact Study. [Per Scholas]","Maguire, S., Freely, J., Clymer, C., Conway, M., & Schwartz, D. (2010). Tuning in to local labor markets: Findings from the Sectoral Employment Impact Study. Philadelphia, PA: Public/Private Ventures. [Per Scholas]","Low-Income Adults","Study Type: Causal Impact Analysis","Causal Evidence Rating: Low Causal Evidence",,"Summary:

	The study’s objective was to examine the impact of the Per Scholas sectoral employment program on participants’ earnings and employment.
	The study was a randomized controlled trial and used survey data to estimate the effect of Per Scholas by comparing average outcomes among applicants offered access to the program with average outcomes of those excluded from the program, after adjusting for differences between the groups.
	This review was conducted in collaboration with the Employment Strategies for Low-Income Adults Evidence Review (ESER). Because ESER did not report findings for studies that received a low causal evidence rating, this CLEAR profile does not report the findings either.
	The quality of causal evidence presented in this report is low because the study was a randomized controlled trial with high attrition, and the authors did not demonstrate that the groups that remained in the study were similar before the intervention began. This means we would not be confident that the estimated effects would be attributable to Per Scholas; other factors are likely to have contributed. However, the study did not find statistically significant effects.","Per Scholas","Work based and other occupational training","Low income","Professional, scientific, and technical services","United States",2010,http://ppv.issuelab.org/resources/5101/5101.pdf,"Employment and Training Review Protocol"

	The study’s objective was to examine the impact of the Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership’s (WRTP) sectoral employment program on earnings and employment.
	The study was based on a randomized controlled trial and it estimated the effect of offering eligible WRTP applicants the program by using survey data to compare average outcomes among those offered access to the program against the average outcomes of those excluded, after adjusting for differences between the groups.
	The study found that being offered access to the WRTP’s sectoral employment program increased earnings by $6,255, on average, over the two years after acceptance to the program.
	The quality of causal evidence presented in this report is high because it was based on a well-implemented randomized controlled trial. This means we are confident that the estimated effects are attributable to the WRTP’s sectoral employment program, and not to other factors.","Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership’s (WRTP) Sectoral Employment Program","Job search assistance and supportive services Other employment and reemployment","Low income","Professional, scientific, and technical services","United States",2010,http://ppv.issuelab.org/resources/5101/5101.pdf,"Employment and Training Review Protocol"
