Between 2003 and 2006, the Heldrich Center provided evaluation assistance to the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development as part of the Project Access program. This program, funded through a federal Workforce Incentive Grant, sought to address the multiple barriers to training and employment among persons with disabilities by implementing three approaches: (1) enhanced staff training and staff development at One-Stop Career Centers; (2) providing assistive technology and enhanced accessibility assessment; and (3) pilot projects in selected New Jersey One-Stops pertaining to outreach, marketing, and/or various employment strategies.

Excerpt

From 2002 to 2004, the Heldrich Center worked with the September 11th Fund to provide grants management, technical assistance, research, and performance monitoring to the Fund’s $78 million Employment Assistance Program, which served over 11,000 workers dislocated from their jobs in lower Manhattan following the terrorist attacks of 2001. The center developed a comprehensive program design that was used to launch the program quickly in Fall 2002 and then worked collaboratively with the Fund and a multitude of selected service providers in New York City, New Jersey, and Long Island to manage the program until its conclusion in December 2004. The center also managed the project’s database and provided performance monitoring and analysis on a daily and weekly basis. The project culminated in a center-sponsored symposium about lessons learned from the program, and the development of several final reports on technical aspects of the project.
