The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting this Chief Evaluation Office (CEO)-sponsored information collection request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for re...
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DOL is funding a total of $67 million in grants to the Kansas Department of Commerce and to state workforce agencies in Connecticut, Minnesota, and New York. The purpose of the grant is to help youth and young adults with disabilities (Y&YAD), ages 14 to 24, who are eligible for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I services, successfully transition into the workforce. Y&YAD often face significant challenges during their transition to employment, and the grant is designed to address those barriers. The ETM Demonstration gave five-year grants to these states to: (1) identify, develop, and scale evidence-based strategies that improve work-related outcomes among Y&YAD; and (2) increase states' capacity to create innovative employment strategies for them and their families. DOL needs data on program implementation and Y&YAD outcomes to monitor grant performance and measure the effectiveness of innovative practices. These data are necessary for ensuring that grantees are held accountable for achieving their programs' goals and objectives as stated in their grant application, including the number of Y&YAD served over time, the types of services provided, and the economic self-sufficiency outcomes of participating Y&YAD. The evaluation will analyze the four grantees' programs to build evidence on effective strategies that enable Y&YAD in successfully transitioning into the workforce and to inform future practice and policy at DOL.
