Grants and Contracts Details
Description
The Center for Business and Economic research will serve as the external evaluator for the Code
Louisville Job Training program initiated by Kentuckiana Works. As an evaluator we will work with
Kentuckiana works to measure the outcomes, both short and long run, of the Code Louisville training
paradigm compared to three control groups: completely on line computer training, training through
conventional classrooms, and no job training. Our collaborator, IQS Research will be collecting
qualitative data through one]on]one interviews with executives who hire the training program
participants, one]on]one interviews with employed training program participants, focus groups with
currently enrolled program participants, and focus groups with program mentors. CBER will collect data
on employment and earnings outcomes, including data on completion rates, employment rates in the IT
sector, length of time to obtain employment, length of time in employment, as well as earnings profiles.
We will analyze these data using state of the art econometric approaches to estimate the benefit of the
program to workers, and will use cost data provided by Kentuckiana Works to assess the costs
associated with the service.
