            Public benefit receipt","Summary:

	This study’s objective was to assess the effectiveness of the Reemployment and Eligibility Assessment (REA) Initiative in Illinois, a program that provided eligibility and reemployment case management services to Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants, on duration and amount of UI benefits receipt.
	The study was a randomized controlled trial that assigned 3,112 eligible UI claimants to the treatment or control group. Those in the treatment group were required to participate in REA services to retain their UI eligibility. Data for the analysis came from UI administrative records.
	The study found no statistically significant impacts on any UI benefits receipt outcomes examined.
	The quality of causal evidence presented in this report is high because it is based on a well-implemented randomized controlled trial. This means we are confident that the estimated effects are attributable to the REA initiative, and not to other factors.","Reemployment Eligibility Assessment","RESEA Job search assistance and supportive services Other employment and reemployment","Dislocated or displaced worker, Unemployed, High-skilled",,"United States",2011,http://wdr.doleta.gov/research/FullText_Documents/ETAOP_2012_08_Impact_of_the_R…
"Job Corps costs and outcomes","Crawford, C. (1993). Job Corps costs and outcomes. Washington, DC: Government Accountability Office.","Opportunities for Youth","Study Type: Descriptive Analysis",,,"Summary:

	This Government Accountability Office brief studied the costs and outcomes of the Job Corps program during program year 1991 (covering calendar year July 1991 through June 1992). Job Corps offers intensive academic classroom instruction and vocational skills training, along with support services, to economically disadvantaged youth.
	The authors used data from the Department of Labor's Office of Job Corps to explore the differences in the costs of Job Corps centers run by contractors and those run by federal agencies. They also studied the employment outcomes of Job Corps participants who received training from sole-source contractors—those awarded contracts through a non-competitive process.
	The authors found that the cost per participant was higher in Job Corps centers run by federal departments than in centers run by contractors. This difference was driven by variation in the types of training the centers offered.
	Participants in Job Corps centers operated by sole-source contractors, especially those offering training under national training contracts, tended to have higher rates of job placement than participants in other types of Job Corps centers.","Job Corps","Job search assistance and supportive services Youth programs Other training and education Work based and other occupational training","Youth, High-skilled, Low-skilled",,"United States",1993,http://www.gao.gov/assets/90/82925.pdf
