information on how organizations
implement financial capability across a
variety of program types;
• virtual site visits to four
organizations to collect in-depth
qualitative information from multiple
perspectives on notable models;
• interviews with participants to
provide context on participants’
perspectives on these services;
• interviews with employers offering
financial capability services to collect
qualitative information on the types of
financial capability services delivered in
the employer context; and
• focus groups with administrators of
organizations to identify challenges
integrating financial capability services
into employment and training services.
