MyGoals for Employment Success: A Promising Coaching Model

This video, prepared by MDRC’s Economic Mobility, Housing, and Communities policy area, describes MyGoals for Employment Success (MyGoals). MyGoals is an innovative employment coaching program intended to help recipients of federal housing subsidies who are not employed find work, build careers, and advance toward greater self-sufficiency. Informed by behavioral psychology, MyGoals focuses on supporting participants as they set and accomplish goals that are meaningful to them in four domains: education and training, financial management, personal well-being, and family well-being.
