Random Assignment Evaluation of Post-Placement Services
The Learning Institute is currently interviewing participants who are six months to a year from their initial job placement as part of the Institute's formal random assignment evaluation of CEO's post-job placement services to determine their effects on participant outcomes. The evaluation, which combines both quantitative and qualitative research methods, is tracking 200 participants for one year after their date of first employment.
Life Skills Education Graduation Rates and Survey Results
The Learning Institute recently completed a study on Life Skills Education (LSE) graduation rates. The survey focused on what participants like about LSE class, what they think is unique about CEO, and what CEO can do to improve LSE. Results indicated that 90 percent of the participants who completed the survey felt that LSE was interesting, 95 percent felt that it painted an accurate picture of CEO and 82 percent felt the length was "just right."
When asked what they liked about LSE, most of the participants stated that they were inspired by the facilitator, and felt they learned a lot from them. Other participants said the decision to graduate LSE stemmed from their need for "respectable employment" to support themselves and their families. Speaking to what makes CEO a unique program, these participants pointed to the immediate opportunity for transitional work. The Learning Institute is committed to using this survey to study ways to improve LSE graduation rates in the future.
