abstract: 'Despite legislation promoting youth transition from school to
|
||
|
|
||
|
employment, and despite growing knowledge of factors contributing to
|
||
|
|
||
|
successful transitions, youth with disabilities continue to work at
|
||
|
|
||
|
lower rates compared with their nondisabled peers. Over the past decade,
|
||
|
|
||
|
efforts specifically directed toward reducing this intractable
|
||
|
|
||
|
employment gap between these two groups of youth have met with
|
||
|
|
||
|
relatively little success. Marriott Foundation''s Bridges from
|
||
|
|
||
|
School-to-Work Program, a national multisite intervention offering paid
|
||
|
|
||
|
competitive employment to high school youth enrolled in special
|
||
|
|
||
|
education programs prior to school exit, addresses obstacles to labor
|
||
|
|
||
|
market participation confronted by youth with disabilities, with an
|
||
|
|
||
|
intensive, time-limited vocational intervention at seven inner-city
|
||
|
|
||
|
urban sites across the United States. We found universally high job
|
||
|
|
||
|
placement rates of a large sample of youth with disabilities enrolled in
|
||
|
|
||
|
high school over several recent years of operation (2006 to 2011) across
|
||
|
|
||
|
their sociodemographic and disability characteristics, and across
|
||
|
|
||
|
diverse urban areas throughout the United States. Thus, we argue that
|
||
|
|
||
|
educational, disability, and rehabilitation professionals should hold
|
||
|
|
||
|
high expectations for employment success of these youth, regardless of
|
||
|
|
||
|
their disabilities and the local economic conditions of the communities
|
||
|
|
||
|
in which they live.'
