After School Matters

April 14, 2014

After School Matters is an apprenticeship program available to high school students in Chicago, IL. The program was created to help them gain career-readiness skills.  In this evaluation, 535 high school students were evaluated to see the impacts of the apprenticeship experience on a number of measurable outcomes related to career-readiness.  Of these outcomes, students in the intervention group were shown to significantly differ on self-regulation, attitudes about school, and fewer specific problem behaviors.
