The Center for Career Studies (Center) at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) has for many years been helping individuals achieve financial independence by providing quality training and supportive services. These efforts have had a significant impact on recipients' ability to obtain and retain employment and have helped many low-income families achieve total financial independence and self-sufficiency. Because education and training are so essential to helping welfare recipients make a transition to the labor force, it was essential that the Center quantify this impact to further support its success. The purpose of this study was to determine (a) to what extent the trainees perceived that their learning transferred to their jobs and (b) to what degree the trainees' learning increased after training.
