Knowledge, Tools, and Best Practices for Delivering and Evaluating Youth Employment Programs
Our recent project Enhancing Employment Programming for Vulnerable Youth involved an extensive synthesis of best practices and innovations in youth employment programming and the implementation and evaluation of four pay-for-performance training models serving diverse youth, including newcomer, Indigenous, in-school, and NEET youth. The current project mobilizes the knowledge generated from this previous project by developing practical knowledge products, tools, and activities that will:
a) increase awareness and application of best practices, methodologies, and approaches aligned with our findings,
b) engage youth serving agencies in dialogue, knowledge sharing, and learning around the key drivers, enablers, and barriers to implementing best practices, and
c) build provider capacity of providers for service planning and evaluation.
