A comprehensive 14-year study has highlighted the significant economic benefits of Project QUEST, a San Antonio-based workforce development program established in 1992. The research indicates that participants experienced an average income increase of $54,000 over the study period, with those aged between 35 and 64 seeing gains of nearly $139,000 compared to a control group. This translates to a 234% return on investment, considering the average program cost of $16,244 per participant.
