Abstract
Incorporating best practices in program models is critical because these practices have been shown through research and experience to produce optimal results. However, identifying the best practice components to inform new program development is complicated as youth employment initiatives vary significantly in the population they serve and the services they offer. Drawing from the National Youth Employment Coalition’s Effective Practices Criteria Workbook, review articles, and information from youth employment program models, Collura (2010) identified ten effective programmatic practices that are consistently present in the most successful youth employment programs. Data for the present review were collected by consulting similar sources, analyzing existing program models, and interviewing experts in the field. Results from this review provide support for Collura’s (2010) findings. This review discusses and expands upon these findings.
