Employment: Reading Skills |
|
|
|
Evidence
that employment programs have a positive impact on educational achievement
during high school is conditional at best.
Summer Training and Education Program, for example, did not improve
the high school grades of participants (STEP2).
Evaluators attribute this finding to the likelihood that youths
need continued support through the school year to maximize the summer
program’s effects. Furthermore,
the program improved the reading and math skills of students in the short
term, (STEP1) but this impact disappeared after participants left the
program (STEP2). Participation
in Career Academies does not improve standardized achievement scores in
reading or math (CA4).
