K. Kellogg Foundation, Mobility managed an initiative, Partnerships for Skills Gains, to identify and support partnerships between employers and workforce development intermediaries to upgrade workers skills. The project seeks to promote greater investment in workers skills. Mobility has adopted three primary strategies to support this initiative: (1) create a suite of at least 40 case studies documenting the practices of innovative partnerships; (2) disseminate the themes and key findings that emerge from the case studies and a review of academic and professional literature; and (3) give business planning grants to local partnerships to spur their spread and scale. In November 2018, Mobility published a brief on the project, Partnerships for Skills Gains: Investing in Frontline Workers, as well as profiles of 40 partnerships that emphasize good jobs, require employers to cover some or all of the costs of skills training, and feature relationships with community colleges, nonprofits, and/or workforce development boards.Project QUEST RCT Evaluation:With a grant from Arnold Ventures, Mobility extended its randomized controlled trial study of Project QUEST to examine program impacts on earnings nine years after study enrollment, using state administrative data. Since 1992 Project QUESTs mission has been to make well-paying careers accessible to low-income San Antonio residents while meeting employers need for skilled workers. Project QUEST provides comprehensive support and resources to help individuals complete occupational training programs at community colleges and other training providers, pass certification exams, and obtain jobs in strong sectors of the local economy. The evaluation focused on individuals who were pursuing careers in health care. Between April 2006 and October 2008, 410 individuals enrolled in the study, of whom 207 were assigned to the treatment group, which could receive the Project QUEST services, and 203 to the control group, which could not. In April 2019, Mobility published a report on the studys findings, Nine Year Gains: Project QUESTs Continuing Impact. We found that Project QUEST had large, statistically significant impacts on earnings that grew over the nine-year follow-up period. The findings strengthen the evidence base on the effectiveness of sector-based training programs and comprehensive strategies to support low-income adults attainment of postsecondary credentials.Per Scholas Replication RCT Planning Phase:Per Scholas was founded in 1995 in New York Citys South Bronx with a mission to help low-income individuals access well-paying careers in the technology field. Two prior studies of Per Scholas IT program in the South Bronx demonstrated that the program had large, statistically significant impacts on participants earnings two to three years after enrollment. Since 2012, Per Scholas has expanded to twelve new training sites around the country. With a planning grant from Arnold Ventures, Mobility worked with Per Scholas to develop a randomized controlled trial evaluation of two replication sites outside of New York City. To select the locations, Mobility interviewed program staff, conducted focus groups with participants, observed program activities, and analyzed performance data for the programs in the Bronx and in Atlanta, Columbus, Dallas, and the National Capital Region (NCR). Our goal was to assess the replication sites in terms of fidelity to the program model, program performance, and capacity to undertake the RCT. The Columbus and NCR programs were chosen to take part in the study, which will examine program impacts during the three years after study enrollment on participants employment, earnings, postsecondary credential attainment, and financial well-being, using both administrative records and survey data. 490964 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 14 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 6 5 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false NY X Mark Elliott 2122806975 50 Broadway Suite 1604 New York NY 10004 Mark Elliott President 35.00 0.00 X X 193909 0 37504 Plinio Ayala Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Cynthia Shoss Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Harry J Holzer Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Russell Pomeranz Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Pena Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anne Roder VP & Secretary 35.00 0.00 X 147790 0 50923 341699 88427 2 false true false 0 1087279 1087279 Contract Revenue 129046 129046 129046 17392 17392 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1233717 129046 17392 X 0 0 0 0 449923 383090 44555 22278 0 0 0 0 21526 18297 2153 1076 0 0 0 0 0 0 87613 63313 24300 0 1706 1450 171 85 0 0 0 13055 13055 0 0 0 0 0 4837 4111 484 242 Miscellaneous 8809 7648 774 387 0 587469 490964 72437 24068 1032792 976954 0 209740 919966 670 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1243202 1896920 79667 64286 79183 102034 158850 166320 X 488979 484649 595373 1245951 1084352 1730600 1243202 1896920 646248 X false true X true false X 277997 1157256 550912 744449 1216325 3946939 0 0 277997 1157256 550912 744449 1216325 3946939 2315354 1631585 289 370 427 5542 17392 24020 0 0 3970959 0.41090 0.56270 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X 1233717 1233717 1233717 587469 587469 587469 Part X : FIN48 Footnote EMC does not believe its financial statements include any uncertain tax positions.
