Workforce Development Resource: Employers, Young-Adults and Postsecondary Credentials (posted 10/29)

Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Workforce Strategy Center has released a report entitled Employers, Low-Income Young Adults, and Postsecondary Credentials: A Practical Typology for Business, Education, and Community Leaders that investigates a number of education and training programs involving employers in efforts to help disadvantaged young adults attain post-secondary credentials leading to career track employment.  The report explores the aspects of the programs investigated that they believe to be of greatest interest to business, education, and community leaders, as well as funders interested in replicating such endeavors. The common characteristics across model programs, the key challenges and how they were addressed, and the lessons learned about each program are captured in the report resulting in a document that is part typology report and part practical guide.  To download the report click here.
