Net impact estimates of the workforce development system in Washington State

This study estimates the net impacts and private and social benefits and costs of nine workforce development programs administered in Washington State, USA. Five of the programs serve job-ready adults, two of the programs serve adults with employment barriers and two programs serve youth. The cost-benefit analyses show that all of the programs have discounted future benefits that far exceed the costs for participants, and that society also receives a positive return on investment.
