About
Youth Development, Criminal Justice, and Employment MDRC was originally established to study programs for the "hard-to-employ," Americans who face serious obstacles to finding and keeping steady work. Our very first project, the National Supported Work Demonstration, tested the impact of paid work experience for long-term welfare recipients, ex-offenders, high school dropouts, and substance abusers, and it is still regarded as one of the most comprehensive sources of evidence on employment programs targeted to these groups. Today we are testing tailored interventions for specific hard-to-employ groups - young people disconnected from the worlds of school and work, young people and adults at risk of entering the criminal justice system, ex-prisoners reentering their communities, long-term welfare recipients, and people with work-limiting disabilities. The findings of our new studies as they emerge will dramatically expand the body of knowledge about how to address particular barriers to employment - and how to implement effective programs in the different public assistance, enforcement, and service delivery systems that interact with the hard-to-employ population.
