This map presents the number of programs that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving participant outcomes across each of the 10 employment-related outcomes. This map groups programs by their primary service. This map does not incorporate information from any rigorously studied programs shown to have unfavorable or inconclusive effects. For a more thorough presentation of what the body of research says about a specific service, consult Pathways’ Evidence Snapshots.
This map counts programs that:
- Offer the service shown as their central or primary service
- Received well-supported
or supported 
ratings for the given outcome domain, meaning that we have some confidence that they improve outcomes
Sample questions this map can answer:
- How many programs have improved long-term earnings?
- What services have been shown to improve very long-term employment?
