TECHHIRE GRANTS MANAGEMENT PLENARY SESSION: EVALUATION OVERVIEW & UPDATE

TECHHIRE GRANTS MANAGEMENT PLENARY SESSION: EVALUATION UPDATE Speakers Molly Irwin, Chief Evaluation Officer, U.S. Department of Labor Christina Yancey, Evaluation Team Manager, U.S. Department of Labor

Why the Focus on Evidence Increased emphasis on evidence-based policymaking at all levels of government and in the private sector, for example: The President’s FY18 budget, “An effective and efficient Federal government requires evidence—evidence about where needs are greatest, what works and what does not work, where and how programs could be improved...” The Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking Evidence reviews and tiered-evidence funding initiatives (including TechHire!) Private philanthropic organizations calling for evaluation and the use of evidence Increased emphasis on learning and program improvement on the ground

Why the Focus on Evidence Plan Use Evaluation to Improve Implement Evaluate

What we know now Grantees based some programs on promising practices, such as direct employer relationships, sector-based strategies, and career pathways. Grantees are also exploring new and innovative practices, such as IT bootcamps and other rapid, rigorous training strategies. TechHire is building new evidence across all of these strategies, partnership approaches, and target population engagement.

How the TechHire evaluation will build evidence It will answer these questions: How are the programs implemented? What factors influence implementation? What is the impact on employment, earnings, and other outcomes? How do effects vary by program and participant characteristics? By implementing the following design: Implementation study involving all TechHire programs Impact evaluation Random assignment with a subset of grantees Quasi-experiment with all TechHire programs
