摘要

2014 年《劳动力创新与机会法案》(WIOA)授权开展以青年为重点的劳动力发展计划,如青年建设计划、职业培训团和青年活动计划,以提高青年和年轻成人(YYA)的经济自立能力。这些计划的资金来源和服务提供结构各不相同,但都是为在教育和就业方面存在重大障碍的青年提供服务。政策实施的权力下放要求开展研究,考察社区层面实施和体验服务的细微方式。我们的研究调查了南方某州大都会地区五个地方青年劳动力计划的实施情况。参与者包括 12 名青少年服务人员和 7 名青少年。我们采用定性内容分析法对数据进行了分析。与地方政策实施相关的提供者和青年演员的类别包括(1) 招募,(2) 成功的促进因素,(3) 成功的障碍,以及 YYA 复杂的背景和经历、发展需求和结构性不平等之间的交集,以及 (4) 加强支持的机会。总体而言,我们的研究结果表明,这些青年劳动力计划可能会促进健康发展,无论是否明确提到了这种方法的设计或实施。此外,我们还注意到,在实施过程中,资金、人员、招募难以接触到的青少年的能力以及为青少年提供强化支持的能力都存在问题。本文提出了支持青少年福祉的政策和实践建议,以及对未来与当地青少年劳动力计划招募和服务提供实践相关的研究的影响。

Lessons Learned: A Qualitative Study of Service Delivery and Experiences in Local Youth Workforce Programs

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) authorizes youth-focused workforce development programs such as YouthBuild, Job Corps, and Youth Activities programs, to increase economic self-sufficiency among youth and young adults (YYA). These programs vary in their funding and service delivery structure but all serve YYA with significant barriers to education and employment. The devolution of policy implementation requires research that examines the nuanced ways in which services are implemented and experienced at the community level. Our research studied the implementation contexts of five local youth workforce programs in a metropolitan area of one southern state. Participants included a total of 12 youth-serving staff, and 7 YYA. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Across providers and YYA categories related to local policy implementation included: (1) recruitment, (2) facilitators of success, (3) barriers to success, with an intersection between YYA’s complex backgrounds and experiences, developmental needs, and structural inequities, and (4) opportunities to enhance supports. Overall, our findings indicate that these youth workforce programs might be promoting healthy development, whether or not the design or implementation of such an approach is explicitly mentioned. Further, implementation struggles around funding, staff, and ability to recruit hard-to-reach YYA and to provide intensive support for YYA were noted. Recommendations for policy and practice that support YYA well-being are presented, as well as implications for future research related to local youth workforce program recruitment and service delivery practices.

期刊介绍: Journal of Child and Family Studies (JCFS) international, peer-reviewed forum for topical issues pertaining to the behavioral health and well-being of children, adolescents, and their families. Interdisciplinary and ecological in approach, the journal focuses on individual, family, and community contexts that influence child, youth, and family well-being and translates research results into practical applications for providers, program implementers, and policymakers. Original papers address applied and translational research, program evaluation, service delivery, and policy matters that affect child, youth, and family well-being. Topic areas include but are not limited to: enhancing child, youth/young adult, parent, caregiver, and/or family functioning; prevention and intervention related to social, emotional, or behavioral functioning in children, youth, and families; cumulative effects of risk and protective factors on behavioral health, development, and well-being; the effects both of exposure to adverse childhood events and assets/protective factors; child abuse and neglect, housing instability and homelessness, and related ecological factors influencing child and family outcomes.
