What strategies enhance career development for newcomers?

While evidence is limited, certain alternative pathways to career development can help improve newcomers’ workforce integration.

  • Suggestive evidence shows that vocational training can contribute to workforce integration.
  • Suggestive evidence shows that scholastic- and career-focused afterschool programs may improve students’ self-reported preparedness to enter the workforce.
  • Moderately strong evidence shows that vocational training focused on goal setting does not improve workforce integration.
  • Suggestive evidence shows formal and informal language training contribute to workforce integration.

 

Some studies show that merging vocational training and language programs can increase the success rate of newcomers entering the workforce.

  • Two studies suggest that there may be a relationship between language training, social capital, and workforce integration.
