- Summary:
-
The new emphasis on welfare reform, self-reliance, and individual accountability and the new time limits imposed by the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program have resulted in large numbers of people between the ages of 18 and 24 entering the work force. The three main career options for youth in transition from school to work are postsecondary education, apprenticeship training, and public sector employment. In addition to the employment programs and services available to assist low-income youths nationwide, various states offer special assistance to low-income youths with limited skills. Young adults may encounter several obstacles as they move from school to work. In addition to job training and job placement assistance, many youths need the following types of services: mentoring; pregnancy prevention and services to teen parents; assistance to domestic violence victims; substance abuse counseling; and transportation. Funding for such services is available through various government agencies, philanthropic foundations, and private employers. The following are among notable innovative programs: Detroit's "Focus: HOPE" program, which emphasizes work force development for well-paying jobs; the Los Angeles/Watts and Eastside Empowerment Zone; and the Iowa Volunteer Mentor Program.
