Public Policy
The Levitan Center and its founder, the National Council for Employment
Policy, have led and contributed to public policy discussions on
a broad range of issues pertaining to disconnected youth and adults.
From education, employment training, to welfare reform, and housing
– we advocate a more holistic view toward service systems
– including interagency approaches and integration of services,
with focus on measurable outcomes.
Our publications provide critical information and assessments that
have proved valuable to public policy makers and program staff.
Our titles include The Young the Restless and the Jobless: The
Case for a National Jobs Stimulus Program Targeted on America's
Young Adults and Confronting the Youth Demographic Challenge: The
Labor Market Prospects of Out of School Young Adults. For a full
list with descriptions and ordering information see List

Programs and Practices
Continually upgrading the skills and experience of staff is imperative
for program responsiveness and client success. Yet, time for training
is often cut short when the needs of individuals at risk are great.
That is why we concentrate so strongly on practitioners and their
training needs – and provide help in a flexible format.
The Practitioner’s Toolbox is designed to provide staff with
important skills in case management, individual service strategy
development, job development, follow-up and recruitment and engagement–
all in a self-paced format. For a full list with descriptions and
ordering information see Youth
Practitioner's Toolbox Series.
