Vocational Training and Employment Demonstration Project for Refugees with Disabilities: Early Evaluation Findings

In 2022, SourceAmerica launched a pilot project to provide employment services for refugees with disabilities, known as the Vocational Training and Employment Demonstration Project for Refugees with Disabilities (the pilot). Mathematica was engaged to evaluate and provide technical assistance for the pilot. In this report, we describe the pilot’s implementation and early outcomes during the period from January 2023 to May 2024. By developing a better understanding of the implementation and early outcomes of the pilot, this report aims to inform community actors and policymakers about the need for and value of such a program to support the employment of refugees with disabilities.
