 Experimental Research Studies Non-Experimental Research Studies

Compared to control group:

- Program youth more likely to report that teachers give them personalized attention and have high expectations of them





A number of nonexperimental evaluations indicate that integrating a vocational component into a school curriculum exposes youth to more positive adult relationships:

- The number of students that found the adults in their life helpful increased

- Relationships with adults at work gave students a network that supported learning and career development

- Youth apprentices felt that they had business contacts that will help them get jobs in the future
