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.'
