This report examines survey responses by Scottish part-time youth workers, their employers, and trainers about program training needs. Of primary concern to the study were the characteristics and roles of part-time staff, their level of satisfaction with existing training, and their attitudes toward a modular training system. A total of 96 interviews were carried out. Respondents were staff in public and voluntary youth clubs, and in young farmers', scouts', and girls' groups. The study found that youth-work training and refresher courses were valued, while generic courses were criticized. Training was considered successful when it involved practical, relevant work alongside experienced staff. Residential weekends were favored; distance learning was not. Main training access problems were seen to be caused by a lack of full-time staff and inadequate budgets. Experienced youth workers seemed to be offered fewer training opportunities than new staff. Most part-time staff favored modules but employers and trainers were more doubtful. Welfare rights organizations' training was better because representatives of these organizations seemed to have a clearer view of their aims and objectives. Local authority workers, however, seemed less clear about agency goals, making identification of training needs more difficult. The document recommends that organizations more clearly identify goals and needs, and make training as relevant to needs as possible. On-the-job training with experienced trainers also is encouraged. Questions of policy, information, support services, and the use of modules are discussed. (TES)

This report presents results from analyses of the workplace training experience reported by member of the 1995 cohort of the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) when they were about 19 years old in 2000. For young workers, workplace education and training can play an important role in the transition from school to work. The youth labour market in particular is characterised by churning and often marginal attachment to the labour force. Results in this report show that at age 19, some 30% of employees had received an average of a week's structured workplace training during the previous year. An additional 15% received only semi-structured training in the workplace. These are high values given the relatively high proportion of casual and part-time work in the youth labour market. Participation in initial postcompulsory education is often strongly related to socioeconomic, ethnic and other background characteristics. Results in this report, however, show that participation in workplace education and training is far less dependent on these characteristics-a result that has important implications for equity given the links between workplace education and training an employment outcomes. This report shows that workplace training is closely related to career advancement and employability for young people. Nearly all the training resulted in improvements in skills. Two-fifths of those who received structured or semi- structured workplace training reported that workplace training had helped them get a promotion, pay rise or increased responsibility in their job-and a further two-fifths reported that it could help them get a promotion, pay rise or increased responsibility in their job. Most of those who received some training felt that the training would help them to get a job with another employer. [Author abstract, ed].

While our leaders celebrate Australia’s ‘economic miracle’, unemployment, particularly long-term unemployment, has become a permanent feature of Australia’s economic landscape. Its unacceptably high level has proved remarkably resistant in the face of sustained economic growth and increased prosperity. The adverse economic and social consequences of high unemployment are likely to leave long-term scars on those affected, as well as on local communities and the entire fabric of Australian society. Yet these effects rarely feature on the policy agenda, and the costs of unemployment remain largely invisible.

In Massachusetts, a 12-year-old girl delivering newspapers is killed when a car strikes her bicycle. In Los Angeles, a 14-year-old boy repeatedly falls asleep in class, exhausted from his evening job. Although children and adolescents may benefit from working, there may also be negative social effects and sometimes danger in their jobs. Protecting Youth at Work looks at what is known about work done by children and adolescents and the effects of that work on their physical and emotional health and social functioning. The committee recommends specific initiatives for legislators, regulators, researchers, and employers. This book provides historical perspective on working children and adolescents in America and explores the framework of child labor laws that govern that work. The committee presents a wide range of data and analysis on the scope of youth employment, factors that put children and adolescents at risk in the workplace, and the positive and negative effects of employment, including data on educational attainment and lifestyle choices. Protecting Youth at Work also includes discussions of special issues for minority and disadvantaged youth, young workers in agriculture, and children who work in family-owned businesses.

This book provides an overview of the core professional issues in the field of child and youth care practice. The author explores themes ranging from relationships and the exploration of Self to career building and field-specific approaches to management. The book is written from a pragmatic perspective, and serves both to advance current thinking in the field about professional issues as well as to provide the student of child and youth care practice and practitioners with practical and accessible approaches to developing a strong and sustainable professional identity. All of the themes in this book are explored within a context of ethical decision-making and practice approaches informed by a commitment to children’s rights and empowerment. Throughout the discussions, concepts and themes are considered in relation to four specific lenses: the power lens, the diversity lens, the language lens and the transitioning from theory to practice lens. These lenses serve to ensure that the reader adopts a critical understanding of the professional issues in the field and is able to develop his or her own professional identity while mitigating the power and identity issues necessarily associated with being a practitioner in a helping profession. This book was published as a special issue of Child and Youth Services.
