PACE was a ten-year effort, funded by the Administration for Children and Families, that sought to refine, evaluate, and promote knowledge about career pathways. These programs were designed to foster advancement through well-articulated training and employment steps in occupations that were in demand in local communities. MEF Associates was a subcontractor to Abt Associates in this rigorous random assignment evaluation project. MEF participated in site development, the implementation of random assignment procedures, and the implementation research. MEF authored multiple reports describing PACE sites and results from implementation and impact studies.
