Minority youth unemployment is an enduring economic and social
concern. This book evaluates two new initiatives for minority high
school students that seek to cultivate marketable job skills. The
first is an after-school program that provides experiences similar
to apprenticeships, and the second emphasizes new approaches to
improving job interview performance. The evaluation research has
several distinct strengths. It involves a randomized controlled
trial, uncommon in assessments of this issue and age group.
Marketable job skills are assessed through a mock job interview
developed for this research and administered by experienced human
resource professionals. Mixed methods are utilized, with
qualitative data shedding light on what actually happens inside the
programs, and a developmental science approach situating the
findings in terms of adolescent development. Beneficial for policy
makers and practitioners as well as scholars, Job Skills and
Minority Youth focuses on identifying the most promising tactics
and addressing likely implementation issues.
