Four focus groups were held with youth who had worked at least one job for CAP at the end of the second year of the program. Open-ended questions were used to explore youth job experiences as well as the impact these experiences had on different areas of their lives. Besides helping youth to learn about potential career paths and the subtleties of employment in the real world, outcome themes included improved academic success and higher educational aspirations, more self-confidence, professionalism, leadership skills, better work habits, and improved communication and relationships with both peers and family. Implications for social enterprises focused on youth are discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
