| Abstract | Texas has long been an innovator in policies, systems, and practices to ensure that young adults from low-income backgrounds are prepared for postsecondary education and careers. Today, the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing economic crisis have cast a harsh light on the importance of reengaging young adults who are disconnected from school and work and putting them on a path to success. This population, known as "opportunity youth," is so named based on the promise they hold for society as a whole and for themselves and their families. Their numbers grew dramatically in 2020, and that rise calls for bold action. This paper provides a starting point for movement on Texas state policies that can be built upon, strengthened, and/or implemented. Jobs for the Future brings its evidence-based Back on Track model to this work, helping schools and programs implement proven practices to boost the success of opportunity youth. Evaluations have shown strong evidence that Back on Track improves postsecondary enrollment and completion by opportunity youth. (ERIC). |
