Beyond a Summer Work Experience: The Recovery Act 2009 Post-Summer Youth Employment Initiative

This report was authored by Mathematica Policy Research with funding from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. Conducting site visits to eight local sites, this report details findings from the post-summer youth employment initiative, designed as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. States received funding to give States the option to continue to fund work experience opportunities for out-of-school youth ages 18 to 24 for an additional six months.
