The Challenge of Repeating Success
in a Changing World
Final Report on the
Center for Employment Training Replication Sites

2005. Cynthia Miller, Johannes M. Bos, Kristin E. Porter, Fannie M. Tseng, and Yasuyo Abe.
The Center for Employment Training (CET) in San Jose, California, produced large, positive employment and earnings effects for out-of-school youth in the late 1980s. However, in this replication study, even the highest-fidelity sites did not increase employment or earnings for youth over the 54-month follow-up period, despite short-term positive effects for women.

Barriers to Employment for Out-of-School Youth
Evidence from a Sample of Recent CET Applicants
Working Paper
|
| |
|
|
2005. Cynthia Miller and Kristin E. Porter.
This working paper examines employment and earnings over a four-year period for a group of disadvantaged out-of-school youth who entered the Evaluation of the Center for Employment Training (CET) Replication Sites between 1995 and 1999. It assesses the importance of three key factors as barriers to employment: lack of a high school diploma, having children, and having an arrest record.

| |
|
|
2005. Kristin E. Porter, Sondra Cuban, John P. Comings with Valerie Chase.
Library-based literacy programs face serious challenges to improving adult students’ participation. This study suggests programs should be prepared to accommodate intermittent participation by adult students and to connect students to social services and other supports.
