The survey reports the results of interviews with a sample of approximately 200 Employment Rehabilitation Centre clients on their job-seeking activities over a period of three months following completion of ERC course attendance. The sample had been randomly allocated on arrival at ERC into `experimental' and `control' group streams in a two-stream ERC. The experimental group received normal ERC courses wwith job search training as an addition; the control group received normal courses but without such training.<B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>Variables<br> Survey variables include, in addition to normal demographic data, scores on two psychological tests measuring confidence and locus of control; employment history since leaving ERC, including details of jobs, dates, income level, etc.; job search methods, activities and use of public and private employment services; respondents' evaluations of ERC courses.<br> Data are also available for two similarly sized groups of ERC clients who attended courses before the start of the experiment. Such data, which are available for both experimental and control streams, enables an evaluation to be made of any 'stream effects' which might have influenced ERC course outcomes or post-course job search activities. 1978 - 198001 January 197801 January 1980 England IndividualsGroupsSubnationalDisabled peopleJob seekersTraineesUnemployed Disabled clients attending an Employment Rehabilitation Centre (Birmingham) Cross-sectional (one-time) study No sampling (total universe) Face-to-face interviewPsychological measurements <p>The Data Collection is available to UK Data Service registered users subject to the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/cd137-enduserlicence.pdf" target="_blank">End User Licence Agreement</a>.</p><p>Commercial use of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
