High
School Reform and Work: Facing Labor Market Realities
Do non-college bound students need college-ready skills
to get a job? The Educational Testing Service surveyed
employers and analyzed employment data to find out. ETS
found that college-level skills may not be necessary to
enter the workforce, but such skills are indeed necessary
if young people are to qualify for higher-paying jobs
and to advance in those jobs.

Older, disconnected
youth (ages 14 to 24) are
often left behind by outreach efforts -- specifically,
those aging out of foster care, leaving juvenile justice
system, and those with no formal ties to school or work.
This publication from the Youth Transition Funders Group
(YTFG) -- a consortium of foundations supporting issues
facing older youth – offers an excellent and practical
overview of the issues, and examples of successful interventions
to help teens and young adults make positive transitions
back to communities.
