Search Tips
- Keyword Search – Use the keyword search field to type your own search terms.
- Resource Type – Use the resource type dropdown to find the type of resource that you want (e.g. article, video, report, file, link, study, etc.).
- Resource Topic – Use the resource topic dropdown to find major themes of the resource that you want (e.g. Women Veterans, Homelessness, Wages). You can select multiple topics from the dropdown.
- Resource Tags – Use the resource tag dropdown to search the resource for keyword or term associated with the resource.
- If you are searching using an acronym, try a second search with the acronym spelled out. For example, if you are searching for resources related to the Davis-Bacon Act, try searching "Davis-Bacon Act" as well as "DBA".
- For more specific results, use quotation marks around phrases.
- For more general results, remove quotation marks to search for each word individually. For example, minimum wage will return all documents that have either the word minimum or the word wage in the description, while “minimum wage” will limit results to those containing that phrase.

The brief explores factors affecting the implementation of statewide systems change in the Round 4 Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grants, focusing on the experiences of statewide consortia. It first describes Round 4’s emphasis on systems change and then discusses systems change to improve community colleges’ ability to train workers in skills needed for in-demand jobs. The brief then presents findings on systems change efforts implemented by statewide consortia composed of multiple community colleges in one state.
The report of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) national evaluation synthesizes findings from 87 third-party evaluations of the Rounds 1 and 2 TAACCCT grants. The findings are based on the final evaluation reports that assess the implementation of the grant activities and estimate the impact of TAACCCT on the education and employment outcomes of participants.
The report of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) national evaluation focused on Round 3 TAACCCT colleges that summarizes key findings based on a survey of all Round 3 colleges that participated in the grants, totally 187 colleges, and interviews and focus groups conducted during site visits to 14 Round 3 colleges. This final report presents findings from the Round 3 implementation study.
The report of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) national evaluation presents survey results across all four rounds of TAACCCT grants to describe how the implementation of grant activities differed for three subgroups of colleges: rural colleges, colleges whose grant activities focused on their local economy’s recovery and expansion, and colleges that implemented work-based learning activities.
The brief describes methodological lessons from Evaluation of the Reemployment and Eligibility Assessment (REA) Program impact study that may inform future evaluations of reemployment interventions.
The Evaluation of the Reemployment and Eligibility Assessment (REA) Program was designed to estimate the impact of the REA program on Unemployment Insurance (UI) duration (the length of time claimants spent on UI, in weeks), employment, and earnings. The evaluation was conducted in four states—Indiana, New York, Washington, and Wisconsin— and included both an implementation study and a large impact study. The brief summarizes the results of the impact study, which randomly assigned more than a quarter of a million UI claimants in a multi-armed design over a one-year period.
The body of the Evaluation of Impacts of the Reemployment and Eligibility Assessment (REA) Program Impact Report is deliberately brief. This separate appendix volume provides additional detail. Appendix A develops a formal economic theory of REA-like programs. Appendix B provides additional detail on the econometric specification and other estimation issues.
The Evaluation of the Reemployment and Eligibility Assessment (REA) Program aimed to estimate the impact of the U.S. Department of Labor’s REA program, which supported states to address the reemployment needs of Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants and to prevent and detect UI improper payments. The evaluation included both an implementation study and an impact study. The report presents the results of the impact study.
In 2020, the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) partnered with the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) and funded contractor Mathematica Policy Research to conduct the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Research Portfolio Project.
The report summarizes the evidence on program models for serving justice-involved adults and young adults through connection to employment, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and case management services. The primary evidence of the effectiveness of these models comes from a review of experimental and quasi-experimental impact evaluations. Information about factors that may contribute to the successful implementation of the models comes from a review of outcome evaluations and implementation studies.
