Abstract
The City of Albany’s Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) is designed to provide summer work experiences to Albany residents ages 14-18. The goals of the program are to prepare youth for the world of work, help them identify career interests and develop skills, and provide them with income. The program runs five days a week for five weeks.
The goal of the following analysis was to gain a better understanding if participation in SYEP has an impact on graduation rates for youth in the City of Albany School District (CSDA), particularly those at elevated risk of dropping out of high school.
