Grant

Researcher-Policymaker Interactions

Funds were given to JOBSFIRSTNYC in support of their work with Public/Private Ventures on a project to develop a set of basic interim outcome measures that could be used across workforce development programs, particularly for young adult programs.

This project aims to identify meaningful benchmarks that would help practitioners, funders, and policymakers be better informed about what constitutes good performance when working with different populations and service strategies.
