In this paper, we suggest a novel approach to program evaluation that allows identification of
the causal effect of a training program on the likelihood of being invited to a job interview
under weak assumptions. The idea is to measure the program-effects by pre- and posttreatment
data that are very close in time for the same individual. Our approach provides
useful information on both, average effects of the program as well as information on potential
differences in the effects of the program by type of vacancy or by individual.
