We are evaluating Rubicon’s workforce development programs serving reentry populations in California’s San Francisco Bay Area. The evaluation’s research questions examine how responsive and effective Rubicon’s programs are to justice-impacted participants; if there are predictors that influence program engagement, program completion, and job placement; if justice-impacted participants have differential program experiences than participants who are not justice-impacted; and if stipends and incentives differentially benefit justice-impacted participants compared to participants who are not justice-impacted. We are also partnering with Third Sector to support Rubicon’s strategic data planning and capacity building.
