Lifetrack Resources Releases
2004 Comparison Study
September, 2004 - Lifetrack Resources released 2004 Comparison Study: An Evaluation that Compares Outcomes for a Multi-Site Transitional Jobs Program with Random Samples of Participants in the Minnesota Family Investment Program (Minnesota's TANF Program).
This report summarizes the evaluation findings regarding a transitional jobs model (Advancement Plus) as it compares to random samples of participants in the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP). This study provides overwhelming evidence that the transitional jobs strategy is successful for low wage workers including those who are ex-offenders, homeless, long term dependent on public assistance, refugees and immigrants. The transitional job strategy concept of a paid work experience, short term in duration, with classes on conflict resolution, balancing work and family, strengthened by assistance with job search, retention and advancement is a model that can be replicated in various settings to achieve employment success. Check back later for the full report to be posted.
