DWP’s Employment Data Lab
The DWP are actively looking for organisations to participate, see more via The DWP Employment Data Lab or get in touch directly with the team via employment.datalab@dwp.gov.uk.
The aim of the service is to carry out impact evaluations on employment-related interventions provided by organisations like yours. The service involves participating organisations sharing their data on an intervention with the Data Lab team (in DWP) so that it can be analysed and evaluated and a report shared back.
The aim is to build understanding on what works in helping people into employment.
