En los últimos años, Commonwealth Corporation ha estado estudiando las causas subyacentes de la disminución del empleo juvenil. En 2013, publicamos dos estudios con el Centro de Políticas y Mercados Laborales de la Universidad de Drexel: Señales de éxito: Impulsar las perspectivas de empleo de los adolescentes y Elementos básicos del éxito en el mercado laboral. Estos estudios analizaron las habilidades, el conocimiento y los comportamientos que las empresas buscaban en los trabajadores de nivel inicial. Recientemente dimos el siguiente paso para comprender cómo preparar a los trabajadores jóvenes y trabajadores de nivel de entrada para navegar sus carreras y prepararse y presentarse para las oportunidades de avance. Realizamos esta investigación en dos fases: la fase uno se centró en los aportes de las empresas y la fase dos se centró en los aportes de los adultos jóvenes.
For phase one of the research, we surveyed businesses regarding how they assess entry-level workers for their potential for advancement as well as the internal policies and practices around promotions. We followed up the surveys with focus groups and interviews with businesses to test and flesh out the survey findings. Altogether we reached more than 230 businesses from a range of industries and across every region of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
We are excited to release a preview of the findings from the business phase of our research in the form of tips and best practices for businesses on developing entry-level talent, for programs that serve young workers, and for entry-level employees themselves. Our first “tips” tool, “Promoviendo el Éxito: Consejos para Empleadores” is directed toward businesses. We hope that you find the research and findings useful as you recruit and develop talent, particularly in today’s very tight labor market.
Currently we are wrapping up phase two of the study; we are conducting focus groups of young workers 18-24 to understand how they make career decisions and what tools they use to inform those decisions. We have produced another tool for organizations working to prepare young people for work: Promoción del éxito: consejos para organizaciones juveniles, y esperamos publicar los resultados de la fase dos y un informe completo en el otoño.
