Next Generation of Enhanced Employment Strategies Project [Impact, Descriptive, and Cost Studies]

Information collection for the Next Generation of Enhanced Employment Strategies (NextGen) Project was originally approved in April 2020 and granted a three-year extension in April 2023. Approval covered 11 data collection instruments including a baseline survey, identifying and contact information, two follow-up participant surveys, service receipt tracking, program and staff surveys, program and employer discussion guides, an in-depth participant interview, and a cost workbook. Currently, the NextGen Project has completed study enrollment and is fielding both the first and second follow-up surveys (Instruments 3 and 4) with NextGen study participants across four programs. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.
