Abstract: The Chief Evaluation Office of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has commissioned an evaluation of the Transition Assistance Program Employment Navigator and Partnership Pilot (TAP ENPP, or ENPP). By establishing the ENPP, DOL aims to provide individualized career counseling and guidance to transitioning service members (TSMs) and military spouses. Under the ENPP model, Employment Navigators will provide individualized career services including self-assessment, interest and aptitude testing, career exploration, and detailed labor market information (referred to as the Assist-Explore-Plan [AEP] model) as well as warm handovers and connections to governmental and nongovernmental partners for additional services. ICF has been contracted by CEO to conduct a formative evaluation of this 12-month pilot program.
