A recent report from CLASP looks at what is needed for a comprehensive youth employment delivery system and the experiences of several urban communities in developing such systems. The authors argue for a cross-system approach that utilizes public and private resources to link disconnected and at-risk youth with education, training, and employment supports.
Evaluating eight communities, CLASP identified the following key components of a comprehensive youth employment delivery system:
- A strong convening entity
- An effective administrative agent
- A well-trained case management arm
- Strong partnerships across systems that serve youth
- High quality work experience and career exposure components
For policies to improve job training and to prepare youth to succeed in life.
