TAACCCT Research Questions

In addition to the quantitative data required by the Department of Labor for Project IMPACT, they are also wanting a response to several research questions:

•What service delivery and/or system reform innovations resulted in improved impacts for participants?

•Under what conditions can these innovations most effectively be replicated?

•What are the types of emerging ideas for service delivery change and/or system reform that seem the most promising for further research? Under what conditions are these ideas most effective?

•What directions for future research on the country’s public workforce system, and workforce development in general, were learned?

As you know, I conduct quarterly site visits to gather ongoing information about the status of Project IMPACT at each of the individual community colleges. I will continue to do that through the duration of the grant. In addition, I will ask for responses on the four research questions and add that information to the case studies. 

As always, I have appreciated your willingness to share your many successes and your limited concerns. I look forward to visiting with all you in the new year.
