Abstract: The intended outcome of this report was to identify those things that Community Based Organizations (CBOs) were doing well, as opposed to what was being done poorly, in terms of the services that lead to successful employment outcomes. In addition, the report provides suggestions for program requirements if CBO accreditation becomes a requirement. This report concludes by offering eight recommendations for CBOs to consider.
