Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
The CAP Family Advancement Study (CAP FAST) is a randomized control trial of CareerAdvance®,
a dual-generation program providing education, career coaching, and soft-skills training for
parents while their children attend CAP Tulsa's Head Start programs.

Randomization will take place with all applicants who have agreed to the study and are
selected to participate in CareerAdvance®. Two-thirds of participants will be selected for
the treatment group and will be able to enroll in CareerAdvance® immediately. The other
one-third of the participants will be assigned to the control group and will not be able to
enroll in CareerAdvance® for two years. Those who are selected for the control group will
have access to CAP Tulsa's rich array of service outside of CareerAdvance®, including high
quality early childhood education. The randomization process is introduced to parents during
CareerAdvance® information sessions, and consent for the randomization process is required in
order to apply to CareerAdvance®.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Families whose children attend CAP Tulsa's Early Head Start and Head Start programs,
and whose parents have applied to CareerAdvance®.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Participants who have not applied to CareerAdvance®..
