An evaluation of net impact of programs funded under the Washington State Employment and Training Act (ESHB 1988) of 1993, which provided money to community and technical colleges to expand existing courses and create new ones for Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants most likely to lose jobs. The evaluation focused on whether the displaced UI claimants targeted for aid were at risk of experiencing unusually large earnings losses; whether their community college training raised their earnings above what they otherwise would have been; and whether the program increased the claimants' receipt of such training. Information was gathered through wage and claim records of the state's Employment Security Department covering 10 percent of some 400,000 UI claimants from 1989-1994 who left preclaim employers for whom they had worked for at least 6 quarters. Three key findings reported were as follows: (1) some of the courses offered by community colleges had strong, positive effects on subsequent earnings; (2) the program emphasized taking technical, vocationally oriented courses most likely to raise earnings; and (3) college attendance and completion of courses shown to raise earnings among displaced claimants markedly increased after the program started, and grew as the program matured. (The report contains 16 figures and 26 tables reporting data about program participants and the effects of the program.) (KC)
