Employment: School Absences |
|
|
|
Two
studies indicate that employment programs reduce school absences.
If programs can demonstrate the importance of regular school
attendance, they may improve a youth’s chances of graduating from school
and may also instill an important job skill—dependability.
In experimental analyses, both an intensive school-based program
and a community-based program improved youth attendance at school (CA4,
CB). The Career Academies
program also decreased dropout rates among youths at high risk of dropping
out.
