February 2 – Results from a Formative Evaluation of Two Employment Programs for Young People Transitioning Out of Foster Care
Join the Urban Institute to discuss the results of a formative evaluation of two employment programs: iFoster Jobs in Los Angeles and Riverside, California, and MY TIME in Chicago. Currently, young people aging out of foster care tend to have less steady jobs and earn less than their peers not in foster care. Employment programs offer a remedy, but research is limited on how these programs operate for young people recently in foster care and whether they successfully bridge the employment gap these young people face. The conversation will focus on how iFoster Jobs and MY TIME support participants as they seek to attain and succeed in employment and how to build more evidence on what works. The event will take place on Tuesday, February 2 at 1 p.m. EST.
