Final results of the quasi-experimental impact study of the PowerCorpsPHL program shows the skills-based training helped disconnected young adults in Philadelphia improve their employment outcomes.

Mar 1, 2023


Actus was contracted by the Philadelphia-based EducationWorks to conduct a quasi-experimental impact study of the PowerCorpsPHL program. This program engages disconnected young adults ages 18-28 in AmeriCorps service, preparing them for career-track employment and post-secondary education success in the green jobs sector.


This study found that the PowerCorpsPHL program:

  • Increased participant employment rates in the first six quarters after program entry.

  • Increased the likelihood of continuous employment for at least eight quarters after program entry.

  • Increased participant earnings by 13% in the first four quarters after entry.
