| Abstract | A 2014 report on global human capital trends found that many employers across the United States had difficulties maintaining a skilled and committed workforce. Yet unemployment among young people ages 16 to 29 years was well above the overall unemployment rate. In 2016, 8.2 percent of this group were unemployed, while the national average was 4.9 percent. However, among Black young adults it was even higher: 13.8 percent. Indeed, unemployment among young Black men was more than triple the national average. To help address racial inequity and increase employment among young people, workforce development systems and other systems that serve young adults would need to change. Given this context, in 2016, the Annie E. Casey Foundation launched Generation Work™ to connect more young adults--especially young people of color from families with low incomes--with meaningful employment by changing the way public and private systems prepare them and support their search for jobs. As part of the initiative, it asked partnerships made up of key workforce organizations in five cities to change how their workforce systems operated by better aligning education, training, and support services across organizations, and weaving into their systems best practices related to employers and youth. This report examines the first five years of the initiative as implemented by five partnerships. (ERIC). |
