*Title of Collection:*                     Connecting Adults to Success: Career Navigator Training Study (CATS Study).                

*OMB Control Number:*                     1850-NEW.                

*Type of Review:*                     New collection.                

*Respondents/Affected Public:*                     Individuals or Households.                

*Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:*                     120,403.                

*Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:*                     6,640.                

*Abstract:*                     This demonstration study will examine the impact of training for career navigators—local adult education provider staff who provide services to address the challenges that learners face navigating the transition to the workforce and to further education and training. The study will compare the education and employment outcomes of learners enrolled in adult education sites whose career navigators are assigned by lottery to receive the study's training (the treatment group) with the outcomes of learners enrolled in the business-as-usual sites who are assigned by lottery to receive the study's training after the study period (the comparison group). Approximately 64 adult education sites from across five to seven states are expected to participate in the study. Impacts on learners' education and employment outcomes will be examined after 18 and 30 months.
