Final Report on the Center for Employment Training Replication Sites
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.
Evidence from a Sample of Recent CET Applicants

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.
