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