Rock, Andrew; Metz, Rachael; Tessler, Betsy; Gasper, Joseph
MDRC
This brief highlights key findings from the implementation of the TechHire and Strengthening Working Families Initiative (SWFI) programs and offers considerations for practitioners. The programs provided training for high-tech jobs as well as support services to people with barriers to training and employment. Presented especially for a practitioner audience and derived from a rigorous evaluation, including visits to TechHire and SWFI programs, interviews with staff members, and a review of program participation data, the brief describes staff members' experiences of facilitators and challenges related to recruiting for these types of training programs and delivering a range of services, including technical skills training, case management, support services, child care assistance, and job placement and other post-training services. The brief offers considerations for practitioners involved in planning or implementing similar programs.
