  6. “Before, we were using our own home-grown tool, which was OK, but it wasn’t based on research and it was more subjective than we liked. The Participant Work Readiness Evaluation measures our core outcomes, and it was great that we could modify it to fit the specifics of our programming.” Mira Appleby Program Development Manager Baltimore’s Sinai Hospital • October 2012 Newsletter
