The Department of Labor (DOL) is asking for public feedback on their plan to gather information for the Partners for Reentry Opportunities in Workforce Development (PROWD) Evaluation. This evaluation aims to study how effective reentry services are in helping people leaving federal prisons find employment. They are particularly interested in comments about whether the data collection is useful, how accurate their estimates are, and ways to reduce the paperwork burden. The data collection includes a survey of individuals participating in the program, and responses will help them understand and improve the support provided to inmates reentering the workforce.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Labor wants people to share their thoughts on a study called PROWD, which looks at how well ex-prisoners find jobs after leaving jail. They want feedback on whether the study is helpful and how to make it easier to answer their questions.
