The Progressive Goal Attainment Program (PGAP) is curriculum-based and taught to Veterans to help them overcome their barriers to integration and employment - many of which are psychological.
From the research document:
"MDRC’s Accelerated Benefits (AB) Demonstration found that when delivered alongside medical case management and employment and benefits counseling, PGAP started to increase job search and job preparation activities within a year among individuals who receive SSDI. A follow-up analysis by the Social Security Administration found that beneficiaries who received PGAP and related counseling services sustained higher employment and income levels two years after the study began."
With results like this, seems like this curriculum-based approach would fit nicely in a college setting for those who want to provide top-notch service for their veteran students.
Any thoughts on the transferability of this program to the college environment? What are the challenges, potential adjustments that might have to be made and the opportunities?
