SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The objective of the Integrating Financial Capability
and Employment Services Project is to better understand financial
capability interventions offered in the context of delivering
employment and training services for low-income adults. This
descriptive study intends to use the information collected to build
more evidence about the extent, forms, and practices of incorporating
financial capability interventions into organizations delivering
employment and training services for low-income adult populations, and
to help establish a basis for future research and evaluation in this
area. This project will focus on organizations delivering employment
and training services that also offer financial capability services to
low-income adults and will include:
<bullet> An online survey of organizations to document important
factors driving the decision to incorporate financial capability
services as well as key inputs, activities, and outputs involved in
offering such services;
<bullet> phone interviews of administrators of organizations to
gather qualitative information on how organizations implement financial
capability across a variety of program types;
<bullet> virtual site visits to four organizations to collect in-
depth qualitative information from multiple perspectives on notable
models;
<bullet> interviews with participants to provide context on
participants' perspectives on these services;
<bullet> interviews with employers offering financial capability
services to collect qualitative information on the types of financial
capability services delivered in the employer context; and
<bullet> focus groups with administrators of organizations to
identify challenges integrating financial capability services into
employment and training services.
Respondents: Individuals that are currently receiving or have
received financial capability services; administrators, managers, and
staff of employment and training programs; managers and staff of
programs that partner with employment and training programs; and
leadership at private employers.
