About the Study
In 2022, the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) partnered with Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) and funded independent contractor Westat and its subcontractors Westat Insight, American Institutes for Research, and Manhattan Strategy Group to conduct an Evaluation of the VETS Employment Navigator and Partnership Program (ENPP). The outcomes study aims to understand and build evidence on the use of VETS employment navigators to improve outcomes for transitioning service members (TSMs) and military spouses.
This Department of Labor-funded project was a result of the annual process to determine the department’s research priorities for the upcoming year. It contributes to the labor evidence-base to inform employment and training programs and policies and addresses Departmental strategic goals and priorities.
- Outcomes Study: What are the rates of participant employment and earnings over time? How do participant outcomes differ based on the combination of EN and/or partner services received, such as resume review and mentoring? How do employment and earnings outcomes vary by service branch, pay grade at separation, and other subgroups?
- a rigorous outcomes evaluation of the ENPP;
- an evaluability assessment on the feasibility of an impact evaluation for ENPP.
