This study is the eighth edition in the entra21 Learning Series, which presents findings from that program. The study describes how successful five projects were in recruiting more vulnerable youth, whether they became more employable, and which practices seem to have contributed to these youths’ ability to acquire new skills and secure employment or create their own micro-businesses.
