PROGRAM PARTICIPATION WITH THE HARD-TO-EMPLOY?
Are you frustrated trying to get people to show up for meetings and activities and take advantage of what your program has to offer? This report can help you understand how to get more people to become involved with your services. The Behavioral Interventions to Advance Self-Sufficiency (BIAS) project was the first major test of behavioral science interventions in human services programs. The team launched 15 tests of behavioral interventions, involving close to 100,000 clients in eight of the participating agencies. Each site saw at least one significant, low-cost impact for its clients. The final report from the project included commentaries by eight experts in the field reflecting on the meaning of the BIAS results and the lessons for the future.

 This report addresses women's access to well-paid, growing, middle-skill jobs (jobs that do not require a bachelor's degree). It documents sex segregation in middle-skill jobs, and discusses how gender integration of good jobs could both reduce skill-shortages and improve women's economic security. The report focuses on middle-skilled "target" occupations in manufacturing, information technology, and transportation, distribution, and logistics that have high projected job openings and that typically employ few women.
WHAT QUESTIONS NEED TO ANSWERED TO
MOVE APPRENTICESHIPS FORWARD?
In today's hyper-partisan political climate, there are not many areas for agreement between Republicans and Democrats. Apprenticeship is shaping up to be one of them. Within that "big tent" of apprenticeship supporters, however, there are competing and sometimes conflicting visions for its future. Dramatically growing apprenticeship in the U.S. also means confronting potentially fractious issues about where apprenticeship goes forward from here.
