This two-minute video introduces the Building Evidence on Employment Strategies (BEES) project and explains how a random assignment study can help researchers gather powerful information on what works to improve employment and earnings outcomes.

The BEES project is sponsored by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation within the Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is being conducted by MDRC and its partners, Abt Associates and MEF Associates.
