Front-line workers fulfill a critical role in the implementation of the Job Opportunity and Basic Skills Training Program (JOBS), a welfare-employment program authorized under the Family Support Act of 1988. This study of front-line workers suggests that workers strongly support the JOBS program and its goals. They have reservations abut the effectiveness of the JOBS program, however, and identified two major barriers to implementation: inadequate funding for education and training services and the lack of available employment opportunities in their local communities.

JOBS is a research-based program delivered in a group format and designed to aid unemployed job seekers in their search for employment. The program has demonstrated positive impacts on job-search skills, motivation, reemployment rates, and mental health. The JOBS program was designed and tested in large-scale randomized trials at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. The positive effect of JOBS has been replicated in a number of national and international settings. Research, theory, and principles for best practice in the implementation of JOBS are discussed, as well as future directions for research and new applications.
