Synthesis Report: Reemployment Synthesis
Topic Area: Reemployment
Findings:
The majority of reemployment interventions reduced weeks of benefit receipt and amount of benefits paid.
The reemployment interventions had varying degrees of effectiveness.
The Reemployment and Eligibility Assistance (REA) program boosted short-and long-term employment and earnings.
Job search assistance (JSA) services had favorable impacts on all outcomes examined, but employment and earnings impacts varied over time.
Reemployment bonuses appear to work in the short term, but their long-term effects are not known.
Lighter-touch interventions, such as profiling and changing employer contact requirements,yield more limited benefits.
Synthesis Report: Registered Apprenticeship and Work-Based Learning Synthesis
Topic Area: Registered Apprenticeship and Work-Based Learning
Findings:
Sectoral training and employment programs that offered specific pathways for occupational training and other career supports improved education and training outcomes, and some improved employment or earnings.
Subsidized and transitional employment improved employment and earnings in the short term.
Registered Apprenticeship (RA) improved employment and earnings, but the evidence base is small.
WIA training services had more favorable impacts on employment and earnings outcomes in the long term than in the short term, though these outcomes were mixed overall.
Synthesis Report: Disability Employment Policy Research Synthesis
Topic Area: Disability Employment Policy
Findings:
Many disability employment interventions improved participant employment and earnings outcomes but few improved education and training, health, or public benefits receipt outcomes.
Transition programs and support services interventions improved the widest variety of outcome categories.
VR interventions improved employment and earnings outcomes but the effectiveness differed by disability type and the types of services received.
Supported employment interventions improved employment and earnings outcomes but the evidence base is small.
The two high-rated studies on benefits offsets showed no significant impact on earnings outcomes and an unfavorable impact on public benefits receipt outcomes.
The only high-rated study of a mental and behavioral health supports intervention showed promise.
Studies assessing the PROMISE intervention across multiple time points reported changes in outcomes.
Studies assessing the same intervention across multiple sites reported differing results.
Synthesis Report: Research Synthesis: Opportunities for Youth
Topic Area: Opportunities for Youth
Findings:
Successful programs often involved a substantial time commitment from participating youth.
Many successful programs involved a job placement component or job search assistance.
Positive impacts tended to be realized in the short term and fade over time.
More information is needed on the replicability of some programs.
