Worker Outcomes
What education, employment, and earnings outcomes do workers served by sector initiatives achieve?
AspenWSI has conducted a variety of research documenting the education and labor market experiences of sector initiative participants before and after training. We have conducted participant data studies as a component of AspenWSI’s Courses to Employment and the Sectoral Employment Development Learning Project (SEDLP), and as a research partner to Public/Private Ventures’ Sectoral Employment Impact Study. Study findings show that the sectoral approach is effective at helping low-income adults gain skills, attain higher levels of education, obtain employment, and increase their earnings. In this section, visitors will find detailed outcomes from a variety of studies.
