Filtering results
Use the filters to search for programs that improve specific labor market outcomes, serve specific types of clients, include specific services, or meet other criteria. Use the dropdown menus to select filters and then click Apply to view the programs meeting those criteria.
In general, your search results will include programs that meet ALL of your selected filter criteria. For example, if you select Case management and Soft skills training as the services programs should provide, your search will return programs that provide both services. If your search returns five or fewer programs meeting all of your filtering criteria, a second table will display programs that meet some of your filtering criteria and may also interest you.
Some of the filters are grouped and you can select either the group’s primary overarching filter or the more specific secondary filters. If you select the primary filter, your search results will include programs that meet any of the more specific filter criteria within the group. If you select some or all of the more specific filters, your search will return programs that meet all selected filter criteria. For example, Employment coaching and Job search assistance are both grouped under Work readiness activities. You can select the primary filter, Work readiness activities, to see programs that deliver any of employment coaching, job search assistance, or job development or placement services. Alternatively, you can select Employment coaching and Job search assistance to view the programs that deliver both employment coaching and job search assistance.
Most programs deliver multiple services and when you filter for specific services, the search returns any program that delivers those services, regardless of how many other services the programs deliver and whether the selected services are major components of the program. Alternately, you can limit your search to programs where the selected service is the primary service, meaning that it is the central component of the program. Each program has one primary service.
Sorting results
The programs that meet all or some of the filters you selected are displayed in two tables and sorted by their effect on earnings, by default. Choose from the drop down menu or click on the column headers to sort the programs by the effectiveness ratings assigned in one of the other outcome domains or to sort alphabetically by program name. The second table can also be sorted by relevance to bring programs that best match your criteria to the top of the list.
Comparing results
Select up to three programs and click Compare Selected to see more information about their populations, setting, and effectiveness, side-by-side.
