The results from the In-work Progression Randomised Controlled Trial show positive, but relatively small, impacts on earnings, and the wider evaluation contains a range of findings about the delivery and reception of the interventions being tested. This is a starting point: we have more to do to further analyse the findings from the RCT, and we are developing a programme of research, analysis, tests and trials, to further develop the evidence base on progression.
