. ,~. <br />CENTER FOR EMPLOYMENT TRAINING, <br />RESEARCH TRIANGLE NARRATNE <br />The Research Triangle Parr North Carolina Center for Employment Training <br />(RTP-CET) was founded in June 1995. A demonstration project for North <br />Carolina's Community Colleges, JOBS/VVorkFirst and other training programs, <br />the RTP-CET is centrally located to serve the Raleigh-Curttam-Chapel Hill area <br />and surrounding counties. <br />The RTP-CET service population characteristics for FY'96P97 were; <br />92% female (157 female and 14 males ); 88°~G black, 11 °~6 white; 2°~ Hispanic; <br />80°~5 Worfc Frst clients (137 DSS vs. 34 Non-0SS); 57°~ long-teml AFDCRANF; <br />5°~6 exloffender, 73% below 9th grade math level (TARE tesfed); 54°~ below 9th <br />grade reading level (TABS testeo~; 30°~6 dropout ; 94°~ unmarried; 93°~6 single <br />parent; 1 % two parent families; 8% teen parer-t; 11 °~ age to 21; 8586 between <br />the age of 22 and 44; and 95°~ mutGple barriers to employment In its first year <br />of operation, CETIRTP had an 82% placement rate of 63 graduates with an <br />average salary of $7.34 an hour. In our second year, 100. trainees were placed <br />with an 81 % placement rate (not induding those who left for sd~ooUother <br />training) and an average hourly wage of $7.49. The great majority (80+°i6)s of <br />employed graduates also have benefits. ' <br />EVALUATION <br />Results <br />Although the demonstration's start-up and second year phase was delayed, and <br />impacted due to confounding extraneous factors (reduction in referrals), the <br />RTP-CET has made great strides towards perfecting the CET model and serving. <br />its target population. <br />CET has been participating in an evaluation funded by the North Carolina <br />Department of Human Resources, to measure program effectiveness of training <br />opportunities around the state.. Listed below are some of CETs outcomes: <br />• Highest percentage of partiaparrts who left training for employment <br />• Highest percentage of partidpants working 30 ~houcs or more per week <br />• Highest percentage of partiapants with benefits <br />• Highest median hourly wage (CET = $7.50; JRTC =$5.00; RITE _ $6.00) <br />• Highest average hourly/projected annual wage per employed participant <br />• Highest percentage projected to earn $10,000 or more annyally <br />• Highest percentage earning above poverty level (family of 3 ($12,156.00} <br />The final draft s0utcomes Assessment of CET and RITE. Programs' reports the <br />following key findings regarding CET/RTP: , <br />• Higher job placement [retention] rates than RITE and WorlcFirst <br />comparisons (80+°~ at six months -the highest of any program ever <br />studied Eby the researchers)- <br />• Higher earnings than RITE and WorkFirst comparisons <br />Greater decrease in TANF and food stamps use over nine months <br />• High levels of program satisfaction (expressed by trainees/graduates) <br />
