This executive summary is the third 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 executive summary provides an analysis of the final outcomes at 24 months, and presents policy implications of the study.
