| Abstract | The "Final Impact Report for Accelerating Opportunity" study examined the effect of Accelerating Opportunity (AO) on education and employment outcomes for underprepared adult learners. Designed and led by Jobs for the Future and national partners, AO allowed adults with low basic skills to enroll in integrated career pathways at community and technical colleges. The quasi-experimental impact analysis shows that AO students earned more credentials while taking fewer credits, suggesting more efficient course-taking and accelerated learning. These achievements did not translate into labor market gains in the observed timeframe for all students, though AO had strong and sustained positive earnings impacts for some student subgroups. This document presents the following four appendixes that accompany the study: (1) Required Elements of AO and Theory of Change; (2) AO Student Characteristics by State; (3) Labor Market Impact Results Tables; (4) Balancing Tests; and (5) Standards for Causal Interpretation of Impact Results. [The University of Phoenix Foundation also funded the report. For the full report, see ED616953.] (ERIC). |
