Initial Findings From Courses To Employment On Students’ Education And Employment Outcomes

During Courses to Employment, WSI conducted participant outcomes assessments on students served by nonprofit-community college partnerships. These assessments looked at students’ demographics and their education and employment experiences prior to and after their participation in a training or education program. For some programs, students’ employment and education data were also captured while students were in training in order to observe interim milestones and progress. The outcomes reports include detailed statistics, tables and charts on students’ outcomes.
