| Περίληψη: |
As young people navigate the transition to adulthood, obtaining employment is a major milestone. But connecting to any job, much less a meaningful career, can be particularly challenging for opportunity youth--young people ages 16 to 24 who are not engaged in work, school, or training--who have experienced educational or broader life disruptions. Community-based workforce development programs aim to support opportunity youth and other young people by offering career-readiness preparation and structured work experience as well as support for transitioning to independent employment or further training. While these programs vary in terms of their structure and content, they often integrate classroom-based skills training with work-based learning opportunities to prepare participants for employment. Programs may also engage local employers in program design and delivery to better align training with employers' needs. Research has shown that these programs can be effective in improving secondary education and employment outcomes. To understand how community-based programs can best use employment training, work-based learning, and supportive services to help young people find jobs and begin careers, MDRC conducted case studies of two Los Angeles-based programs: Brotherhood Crusade's Movin' on Up initiative and the Los Angeles LGBT Center's Youth Services Workforce Development Program. Both are well-established entities with extensive experience serving young people in Los Angeles. This research is part of a broader partnership between MDRC and the Hilton Foundation's Opportunity Youth Initiative. Based on analysis of interviews with program leadership, frontline staff, program participants, and employer partners, this brief shows how these organizations have tailored their services to best support their distinct populations of young people. This brief will identify considerations to help practitioners, policymakers, advocacy organizations, and funders develop and support employment programs for specific populations.
