Team Hackney Worklessness Model

Team Hackney has commissioned ERS to evaluate the impact of the interventions aiming to support people into long term employment and training initiated through the Team Hackney Economic Development Partnership’s Worklessness Model. The study aims to identify any best practice developed through the Model and make recommendations to inform future activity.

The study includes a review of the model’s methodology; an intervention delivery and impact assessment of three pilot contracts and three sectoral contracts; and a three-year longitudinal tracking study of a cohort of beneficiaries from across the contracts ending in March 2010.

A key element of the methodology will be the longitudinal tracking study which will assess the views and progress of a cross-section of beneficiaries engaged by the programme, including a sample of non-completers. It will provide evidence on Client satisfaction, hard and soft outcomes; spatial impact; and a counter-factual assessment of the programme’s impact.
