3. Career Builders: Key Components for Effective Global Youth Career and Workforce Development. Occasional Paper. RTI Press Publication OP-0045-1709

Author

RTI International, Nassar, Sylvia C., and Al-Qimlass, Aisha M.

Abstract

Global youth unemployment is a significant cause of poverty, resulting in the persistent marginalization of populations. Education and career counseling professionals and professionals in policy, research, and practice concur that the consequences of global youth unemployment are dire. But leaders in these domains have not yet come to an agreement on the best ways to face this global challenge. Our analysis of interdisciplinary literature on global youth unemployment is a first step in identifying and formalizing best practices for culturally appropriate career and workforce development worldwide. This research will support education and career counseling professionals in developing appropriate career and psychosocial support interventions, establishing empirical intervention efficacy and other program evaluation protocols, and creating a capacity-building infrastructure for knowledge-sharing across policy, research, and practitioner stakeholder groups. We also include a proposal for next steps to establish rigorous empirical support for these future initiatives.

4. A Tripartite Model of Program Evaluation: Implications for Effective Career Services and Workforce Development

Author

Nassar, Sylvia C., Al-Qimlass, Aisha, and Ozdemir, Nurten Karacan

Abstract

Empirical and conceptual literature on career and workforce development increasingly cites the importance of connections between policy, research and practice domains. Yet, few if any models inform such collaborations. In the proposed Tripartite Model of Program Evaluation, the inter-play between these three key stakeholder groups is conceptualized within the paradigm of program evaluation in relation to best practices. A case example of an actual application of the model conducted in Turkey is also provided to illustrate the Tripartite Model.

14. Volunteers in mental health service programs : a work behavior analysis

Author

Nassar, Sylvia C., NC DOCKS at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Nassar, Sylvia C., and NC DOCKS at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro

Abstract

The Volunteer Work Behavior Questionnaire was developed and administered to volunteers in mental health service programs represented by hospice, crisis, and family service agencies in an effort to identify work behaviors of volunteers. Frequency, importance, and combined item scores were factor analyzed to determine major dimensions of work behaviors. Analyses of variance were conducted between factor "subscale scores" and demographic and background variables, followed by Tukey's Studentized Range test as appropriate. Results of the study include an overall factor structure of work behaviors. Volunteer work behaviors are characterized by three factors of issue-specific interactions, structured and administrative tasks, and communication-specific interactions. Issue-specific interactions accounted for the greatest amount of variance among frequency and combined factors, while structured and administrative tasks accounted for the greatest amount of variance among importance factors. Type of agency yielded significant differences in eight of the nine factors. Means of crisis volunteers were consistently higher for issue-focused interactions for all three factor subscale scores, while means of hospice volunteers were consistently higher for both frequency and importance structured and administrative factors. Other, less consistent patterns were found in demographic and background variables. Similarities were found between volunteer work behaviors and the behaviors of professional counselors (Loesch & Vacc, 1993). Implications for volunteer and counselor training and for future research are identified.
