Evidence Base for Work Experience – What the Research Shows· Paid work experience may improve educational and employment
outcomes for youth, including increased high school graduation rates.
• Greater involvement from the private sector and from employers are aspects of programs that are more successful in connecting youth to work• Employer participation in skill development, career
exploration, and the creation of opportunities for work experience is crucial to producing successful results for youth
• Increased investments in career-related experiences during high school can improve students’ post-secondary and labor market prospects
![Page 7: U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Webinar Date: June 2, 2015 3:00PM Eastern Presenters: Division of Youth Services U.S. Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b177f8b9ab059992473/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Work Experience• Required part of the program design;• Must be provided by the employer partner(s), are planned,
structured learning experiences that take place in a workplace for a limited period of time;
• May be paid or unpaid and may be in the private, for-profit sector; the non-profit sector; or the public sector;
• Are designed to enable youth to gain exposure to the working world and its requirements and to be inspired and energized to continue their studies through the practical application of their skills and knowledge.

Work Experience in the YCC SGA• Work experiences should help youth acquire personal
attributes, knowledge, and skills needed to obtain a job and advance in employment;
• The primary purpose is to provide the youth participant with the opportunities for career exploration and skill development and is not to benefit the employer;
• Work experiences may be subsidized or unsubsidized and may occur during the school year, during the summer, or both. The Department encourages programs to pay for work experiences with matching funds.
![Page 9: U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Webinar Date: June 2, 2015 3:00PM Eastern Presenters: Division of Youth Services U.S. Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b177f8b9ab059992473/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
Internships• Internships are a type of work experience that is more
intensive (as opposed to job shadowing, a less intensive type of work experience) and are a required part of the YCC program
• Internships are included under Employer Engagement and Work-Based Learning/Exposure to the World of Work Core Elements in the SGA
• Internships, if paid, may be paid either through the employer match, grant funds, or a combination of grant funds and the employer match and must directly relate to occupations identified in the participant’s career plan within the applicant’s identified H-1B industry
![Page 10: U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Webinar Date: June 2, 2015 3:00PM Eastern Presenters: Division of Youth Services U.S. Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b177f8b9ab059992473/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Internships in the SGAIn grant proposals, applicants discussed:• How internship opportunities will be identified; • Whether internship opportunities will be paid and, if so,
how they will be paid; • How the applicant will address the transportation needs
of participants to access internships; and • How internships taking place at a worksite will be
monitored by the applicant and the type of support the applicant will provide to employers hosting work experience opportunities.

11
Internship Performance MeasuresThere are three short-term performance measures that relate to internships:• Internship Placement Rate
• Measures the percentage of participants that start an internship
• Internship Completion Rate• Measures the percentage of participants that complete an
internship, of those that start one• Work Readiness Indicator
• Measures the percentage of participants who are deemed work ready based on an employer evaluation conducted at the end of each internship
![Page 12: U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Webinar Date: June 2, 2015 3:00PM Eastern Presenters: Division of Youth Services U.S. Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b177f8b9ab059992473/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Work Readiness Indicator• The work readiness indicator must be based on an
employer’s assessment of a YCC participant’s work readiness skills during their internship.
• The assessment must be conducted by the internship employer and based on the participant’s performance in their internship.
• We recommend you use the DOL work readiness form, found at: https://etagrantees.workforce3one.org/view/2001423443041592604/info but you are not required to use it.
• Grantees may use another form, but the program should use the same work readiness form for all of their participants

Implementing Effective Internships• Internship is a Loooooooooooong Interview!• Immediate Benefit: Can result in actual job
placement, referral, or future job.• Long-term Benefits: Work skills, critical work
experience, resume-builder and reference.• A tangible opportunity for young people to
address education/work youth skills gap.

3) Ensure Meaningful Work ExperienceA. Worksite Monitoring System:• A system of communication must be in place between
staff and employers to ensure quality performance and needed support. (Weekly or Bi-Weekly)
• Assigned On-site Work site mentor
B. Measurement of Work Readiness Progress: • Use evaluation tool designed/modified for internship • All youth and employers should be educated about use
of simple tool in employer orientation

3B) Measuring Work Readiness Tips• “Behavioral” Assessment preferable to “Pre-test/posts” that measure
knowledge.
• Modifiable: Criteria in assessment is based off of national research, and can be modified by staff to reflect local employer labor market or job-specific tasks.
• Introduction: Work readiness assessment tool should be introduced in both youth and employer orientations and by employer on first day on Internship.
• Frequency: The very first assessment should take place within the first two week of the program. Frequency will vary depending on length of internship.
• Include Participant in Process: Ask participants to assess themselves to bring to the appointment a completed self-assessment of their work performance.

Description of School and Local Demographics• Small School System
• Only 1 high school • Program students comprise ~20% of the school population
• Rural Area• ~10 miles from the city center• ~17 miles from next closest town
• Impoverished Population• Over 70% of our students are economically disadvantaged
![Page 29: U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Webinar Date: June 2, 2015 3:00PM Eastern Presenters: Division of Youth Services U.S. Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b177f8b9ab059992473/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Challenges• Transportation and Location of Opportunities
• Capacity for Employment at Industry Sites
• Insurance, Liability, and Workman’s Compensation
• Minimum Age Requirements
• Employer Engagement
• State Work Based Learning Program Policies
• Lack of Monetary Compensation
![Page 30: U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Webinar Date: June 2, 2015 3:00PM Eastern Presenters: Division of Youth Services U.S. Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b177f8b9ab059992473/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Immediate Solutions • Transportation and Location of Opportunities
• Purchased program vans through grant funding • Capacity at Local Industry Sites
• The ability for transport students to opportunities outside of our immediate area changed the realm of this challenge
• Insurance, Liability, Workman’s Compensation, Minimum Age Requirements• Internship agreements and waivers – signed by student,
parent and employer• MOU with post-secondary partner helped alleviate some
employers’ concerns
![Page 31: U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Webinar Date: June 2, 2015 3:00PM Eastern Presenters: Division of Youth Services U.S. Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b177f8b9ab059992473/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Immediate Solutions • Employer Engagement
• Soft skills training • Strategic marketing to current and potential partners
• State Work Based Learning Program Policies• Depends on student workload associated with internship• Study Skills and Independent Study Courses coupled with
“field trips”• Lack of Monetary Compensation
• Soft Skills Training
![Page 32: U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Webinar Date: June 2, 2015 3:00PM Eastern Presenters: Division of Youth Services U.S. Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b177f8b9ab059992473/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
“Flipped” Internship ModelThe flipped internship model is a scenario in which students can complete meaningful work/projects during their school day for an employer partner.
• Students primarily work from school• Program transportation takes students to employer when
necessary; • Interviewing/Hiring Process; Production Supervision; Work
Readiness Evaluations School maintains supervision of students while working at school
• Alleviates many employers’ concerns regarding insurance and liability; and
• Eliminates minimum age requirements in many situations
![Page 33: U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Webinar Date: June 2, 2015 3:00PM Eastern Presenters: Division of Youth Services U.S. Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b177f8b9ab059992473/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
“Flipped” Internship Model• Employers can travel to school or remotely contact
student in many cases• Depending upon student’s anticipated workload during an
internship they can participate in state-level work-based learning program or opt for a study skills/independent study course
• Students’ perception about monetary compensation is different if working predominately from school
• Examples in healthcare, information technology, and welding

tutoring, Summer Bridge, and information technology.• Key to the success of our students is the individualized attention
that a counselor can provide, when case loads are of reasonable size. Providing additional time for our counselors to work with our students is a key investment.
