Abstract: Project GATE is a demonstration program designed to assist individuals interested in self-employment to develop their businesses. To determine whether the program should be replicated on a larger scale, an evaluation has been conducted and is in its final stage, OMB approved an additional survey of 400 individuals (Wave II, which was completed early in 2007. The entire WAVE II survey had 2900 completers. However, the analysis of Wave II data did not indicate anticipated improved earnings; therefore, conducting an identical 5-year follow-up with 2431 completers will enable ETA to determine whether this finding persists over time.
