This is the third report in a three-part series, the purpose of which is to make both the general concept of sector strategy and the particular outcomes of sector programs accessible to policymakers in easy-to-understand terms. To this end, the authors benchmark SEDLP findings against those from well-respected workforce development demonstration projects, particularly the National Job Training and Partnership Act (JTPA) Study. The report provides a full analysis of the final outcomes at 24 months, and presents policy implications of the study.
