About the Report
The report provides an overview of an approach for evaluating the cooperative relationship between the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) and community-based organizations (CBOs). The current research effort began with a review of documents provided by the OFCCP; a followup conference call with members of the OFCCP’s national office and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) revealed CBOs to be a critical part of OFCCP’s mission, enhancing their ability to reach their organizational goals. Applied Research & Consulting (ARC), in collaboration with OFCCP and CEO, determined that a combination of a needs assessment and a process evaluation focused on the existing relationship between the OFCCP and CBOs would be of high utility.
