Report Provides Insights into the Employment Training and Job Placement Needs of Foster Youth

employment-related services and supports among youth in foster care and how one

address those needs. The report highlights the characteristics and placement
histories of the foster youth the program serves, their engagement in
employment training activities, and their placement in subsidized jobs.
