ATIM case managers helped participants develop training plans to help them achieve their employment and career advancement goals. ATIM provided access to trainings, including basic skills training, occupational training focused on manufacturing and safety, and on-the-job training. Manufacturing safety training modules lasted 1 to 12 weeks, and participants could receive on-the-job training during internships lasting about 3 to 4 weeks. On average, participants completed the program in five months. Applicants were eligible to participate in the intervention if they were eligible for the Workforce Investment Act Adult or Dislocated Worker Programs, had reading and math proficiency at or above the 6th-grade level, had English proficiency, and passed a drug screening test. People were prioritized for placement in the intervention if they met the following criteria: had reading scores at or above the 10th-grade level and math scores at or above the 9th-grade level, had interest in the National Occupational Competency Testing Institute assessment, and agreed to undergo a background check. The intervention took place in five regions in Illinois.
