abstract: 'Purpose-This study aimed to (1) systematically identify evaluation
studies of U.S. active labor market programs (ALMPs) focusing on
postsecondary education and job skills training for low-income
individuals with employment barriers (hereinafter, Human Capital
Development {[}HCD] programs) since the U.S. federal welfare reform of
1996, and (2) provide a synthesis of common strategies used by programs
that reported post-program earnings higher than poverty thresholds.
Design/methodology/approach-Using Population, Intervention, Comparison,
and Outcomes (PICO) criteria endorsed by the Cochrane Collaboration, we
identified evaluation studies of HCD programs from seven electronic
databases and experts'' suggestions. Using data (e.g., post-program
earnings, main types of services) extracted from the included studies,
we describe common strategies used by the programs reporting earnings
above the poverty level.
Findings-Of 877 studies identified from an initial search, 10 studies
met our inclusion/exclusion criteria and thus were included in the final
sample. Findings showed that HCD programs reporting earnings above the
poverty level for a family of three were characterized by (1)
curriculums targeting specific job sectors and occupations, (2) local
employers'' involvement in developing curriulums and providing work
opportunities and (3) post-program job retention and career advancement
services.
Originality/value-The present study used a systematic review approach to
fill gaps in research regarding HCD-focused ALMPs in the U.S.
post-welfare reform era by identifying common strategies the effective
programs used to help participants obtain employment and exit poverty.
Findings may inform the design and implementation of employment programs
that will help low-income individuals with employment barriers acquire
marketable knowledge and job skills, and thus increase their economic
self-sufficiency via improved employment outcomes.'
