Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of CETA skill training programs in Boston, using three techniques not often employed in such evaluation studies—a comparison group, multiple regressions incorporating an unusually large number of explanatory variables, and an examination of the effects of differences in the type of skill-training provided. The authors find that these programs provided participants with significant wage and employment benefits, particularly when participants obtained jobs on which they could use the skills they learned. The results also showed, however, that the stability of postprogram employment is sensitive to the type of training received and postprogram wages are even more so.
