Evaluation Plan: Enhanced Services Pilot of the Montana Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment Program

Abstract

The Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Program is a state-administered program funded through the U.S. Department of Labor to help unemployed workers find jobs. Montana’s Department of Labor and Industry has implemented a randomized pilot in which the treatment group is requested to use enhanced virtual services before a RESEA appointment. These enhanced services include resources such as checklists for résumé development, video trainings for utilizing labor market information, and information about career exploration. This document outlines the plan for evaluating the randomized pilot.
