This report presents interim results from an evaluation of two different welfare-to-work strategies for hard-to-employ people in Philadelphia, USA. The first model is a transitional jobs approach operated by the Transitional Work Corporation (TWC), which quickly places participants into temporary, subsidised jobs, provides work-related supports, and then helps participants look for permanent jobs. The second model, called Success Through Employment Preparation (STEP), aims to assess and address participants' barriers to employment - such as health problems or inadequate skills - before they go to work. The evaluation follows 2,000 long-term and potential long-term welfare recipients - receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) assistance - assigned to TWC, STEP, or a control group. This report presents findings for the first 18 months - a later report will present results from over a three-year period. The study is part of the federal government Enhanced Services for the Hard-to-Employ Demonstration and Evaluation Project, which is testing innovative employment strategies for groups facing serious obstacles to finding and keeping a steady job.
