Group formation formatted

This study was a quasi-experimental design. Students who enrolled in Shoreline's C2C machinists program from January 2013 to June 2015 were included in the intervention group. The comparison group consisted of students who participated in Shoreline's machinists program before its expansion and improvement with C2C funding. For the earnings outcome, researchers included only program completers in the analytic sample. In total, researchers collected earnings data for 99 students in the intervention group and 88 students in the comparison group. The unit of analysis was at the individual level.

Implementing organization formatted

Shoreline Community College

Treatment condition formatted

C2C was a community college consortium designed to develop and provide education and training to prepare unemployed, underemployed, and displaced workers to take on jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math industries. Participants in Shoreline Community College’s local C2C program enrolled in machinist training programs such as the Machine Maintenance Certificate and Quality Assurance Certificate programs. Career navigators led work-readiness activities focused on job placement and building relationships with employers, as well as soft-skills coaching. Participants also received support from a shop manager and tool shop technicians; teaching assistants; and a student navigator who helped with recruitment, admissions, intake, and acquiring funding and materials for coursework. 

Comparison condition formatted

The comparison group received training in Shoreline's machinist program before its improvement and expansion with C2C funds. This group did receive some of the same services as the intervention group, including support by a career navigator.

Mandatory services formatted

None

Setting details formatted

Intervention group members received services on campus at Shoreline Community College in Seattle, WA.
