Researchers examined 49 unemployed subjects enrolled in a one-week employability skills training program in the mid-east region of the U.S. for a period of about one year. Classroom size was about four to five clients taught by two professional instructors. Subjects were administered a Job Search Self-Confidence Survey utilising a pre-test/post-test format. The survey measured the employment skills interventions introduced by the instructors to determine what impact they had upon the job search self-confidence of the program subjects. The findings suggest a positive relationship exists between the instructors' interventions and the subjects' job search self-confidence. A statistical analysis infers that instructors' employment skills interventions were significant in increasing job search self-confidence in the program subjects within a week's time period.
