Summary View help for Summary
Minnesota's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, called the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), provides a full range of employment services to families receiving MFIP benefits, including job readiness workshops and job search assistance. However, in 2014, despite Minnesota's strong labor market, some MFIP recipients were unable to find employment. The state funded the Minnesota Subsidized and Transitional Employment Demonstration (MSTED) to improve the employment outcomes of MFIP recipients who were not able to find employment after receiving MFIP services for six months or more. MSTED placed participants into two different types of subsidized employment based on their job readiness - either in temporary paid work experience in the nonprofit and public sectors for participants who were less job-ready participants or in subsidized jobs in the private sector designed to roll over into permanent unsubsidized positions for the more job-ready participants. The evaluation of MSTED, conducted as a randomized controlled trial, included an implementation study, an impact study, and a cost analysis.
