[ADULT EDUCATION PROVIDER SITE]

The U.S. Department of Education is sponsoring a study of career navigation training called Connecting Adults to Success: Evaluation of Career Navigator Training. Mathematica is conducting this study for the Department in partnership with Manhattan Strategy Group and Social Policy Research. As a reminder, [ADULT EDUCATION PROVIDER SITE] agreed to participate in this study.

The purpose of the study is to understand the effects of training for career navigators on learners’ education and employment outcomes.

• Career navigators may also be referred to as career coaches, career advisors, career consultants, career counselors, college navigators, transition coordinators, or case managers.

• Learners may also be referred to as clients or customers.

The study will compare learners enrolled in adult education services in two different groups of providers, one where career navigators receive training in the fall of 2022, and one where career navigators receive training two years later. Your provider was assigned to a group based on a random process, like a coin flip. All career navigators at your site are in the same group.

Today, you are being asked to take a short survey about your background and training as well as your experience as a career navigator. Your participation in this survey is important and will help us learn about the different experiences of career navigators. This survey will take about 30 minutes to complete, depending on your responses. Participation in the survey is completely voluntary and you may choose to skip any question you prefer not to answer. If you are unsure of how to answer a question, please give the best answer you can rather than leaving it blank.

The researchers conducting this study follow the confidentiality and data protection requirements of the U.S. Department of Education’s IES (The Education Sciences Reform Act of 2022, Title I, Part E, Section 183). All your responses will be kept private and used only for research purposes. Your responses will be combined with the responses of other respondents and no individual names will be reported. While there are no direct benefits to participants, your participation will help us learn about career navigators and how career navigation training relates to student outcomes. There are no known risks associated with your participation.

If you have any questions about the study, please contact Mathematica’s survey director, Lisbeth Goble, at XXX-XXX-XXXX or email her at [email protected].

 By clicking this box, you are confirming that you understand that the information you provide will be kept private and used only for research purposes. You further understand that your answers will be combined with the responses of other navigators so that no individuals will be identified.
