- Summary:
-
In November-December 1995, the American Youth Policy Forum sent 18 delegates (including policy aides, researchers, and practitioners) to England to learn about policies and practices for youth services, education, and employment training. The delegation members participated in forums, briefings, informal conversations, and site visits. Among the delegation's conclusions were the following: (1) England's national policies regarding youth training/employment are implemented more systematically and on a wider scale than in the United States; (2) despite government guarantees of occupational training leading to National Vocational Qualifications for all youths who have completed compulsory education but who are not in full-time schooling or employment, youth advocates indicate a lack of high-quality training slots for all youths desiring them and insufficient safety nets for youths who drop out or fail to succeed in their training placements; and (3) unlike the U.S. approach to youth service, which focuses on reductions in pathologies or risk-taking behaviors, England's approach is based on the philosophy that effective and engaging youth work will empower youth with desired skills, attitudes, and behaviors. (Contains 21 references. Appended are the American Youth Policy Forum agenda and lists of the study mission participants and contacts in England.) (MN)
