Bloom is currently directing the Joyce Foundation’s Transitional Jobs Reentry Demonstration, the evaluation of the Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) program for ex-prisoners, and the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Evaluation. Earlier, he was part of the management team for the federally funded Employment Retention and Advancement project and directed three evaluations of state welfare reform waiver projects. Bloom was a member of the team that developed the Parents’ Fair Share Demonstration, a multisite test of programs that provided employment services to noncustodial parents with children on welfare. He also managed MDRC’s evaluation of Ohio’s statewide Learning, Earning, and Parenting program, an initiative aimed at promoting school attendance among teenage parents. Since joining MDRC in 1988, Bloom has written more than 30 research reports and a book summarizing lessons learned from studies of welfare-to-work programs. He has a master’s degree in public policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Bloom has previously worked for America Works, a for-profit company that operates job placement programs for welfare recipients, and for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington-based policy analysis group.
