q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The LINCS program exceeded its targets for program completion and surpassed the goal stated in its proposal to prepare students for SCM positions. → Nan Maxwell 2017

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The outcomes study used a comparative design contrasting 2015 Broward LINCS completers with 2014 SCM students who did not participate in LINCS, and could not assess longer-term outcomes because of time limitations — related
- Broward College LINCS students showed statistically significant increases in employment (3.3 percent) and earnings (5.2 percent) since enrolling, but these gains cannot be attributed to the LINCS program because estimated impacts were not statistically significant — related
- More than four-fifths of 2015 LINCS certification track course completers in five consortium colleges were employed within three quarters after the course, with average quarterly earnings of nearly $7,400 — related
