Using Evidence to Make Decisions about Employment Programs

On October 26, 2020, the Pathways to Work Evidence Clearinghouse held a webinar designed for policy experts and stakeholders who provide guidance on research evidence to state, local, and federal officials. It provides an overview of key features of the website through a demonstration. During the event, panelists shared ways that they use the website and discussed how they are actively using evidence to make decisions about employment programs.

Where can I find information on the cost or cost-effectiveness of an intervention?

The Pathways Clearinghouse provides cost information for interventions that have at least one supported supported icon or well-supported well-supported icon effectiveness rating. Cost information is located on the details page for an intervention, the page which supplies more context about interventions with favorable outcomes. All cost information reported on the website is based on data reported by study authors.
