“…Como señalan Sala, Villalba, Jariot y Arnau (2012), los centros de acogida deben de poner en práctica programas de educación social y emocional que ayudan a los jóvenes a desarrollar su adaptabilidad y a crear y mantener relaciones sociales. El personal educativo de los centros de acogida ha de ofrecer a los menores tutelados la orientación que normalmente recibe un niño en el ámbito familiar, ayudándoles a implicarse en el desarrollo de sus competencias de empleabilidad (Arnau, Marzo, Jariot y Sala, 2013).…”

“…Varios autores (Courtney y Dworsky, 2006;Tilbury, Buys y Crees, 2009;Sala, Jariot, Villalba y Rodríguez, 2009; Davidson, Devaney y Spratt, 2011) señalan que los jóvenes que abandonan el sistema de protección tienen problemas relacionados con: a) la salud mental y física, b) las conductas sexuales de riesgo, c) el consumo de sustancias adictivas, d) el desempleo, e) la falta de vivienda, f) la paternidad adolescente, g) las actividades delictivas y h) sistemas de apoyo social inadecuados. Estos problemas ponen de manifiesto que los jóvenes tutelados no están suficientemente preparados para cubrir sus necesidades materiales y psicológicas, una vez estén fuera del sistema de protección (Arnau, Marzo, Jariot y Sala, 2013).…”

RESUMENLos jóvenes en riesgo de exclusión social experimentan una situación vital muy compleja y viven la transición a la vida activa como una etapa complicada. Este artículo tiene como objetivo: a) analizar las trayectorias de vida de los jóvenes que salen del sistema de protección y b) examinar cómo determinadas experiencias vitales pueden influir en el éxito o fracaso de su inserción socio-laboral y emancipación. Se realizó un estudio de casos múltiples en el que participaron cuatro jóvenes, los tutores de los jóvenes y los empresarios con los que realizaron sus prácticas profesionales. La selección de los casos tuvo en cuenta tres criterios: a) haber estado acogido al sistema de protección, b) haber pasado un mínimo de 6 meses en un programa de inserción laboral, c) tener entre 16 y 18 años. En el estudio se utilizaron técnicas e instrumentos cuantitativos y cualitativos: cuestionarios, entrevistas, planes de inserción, fichas de trabajo, diarios de campo y registros de control para triangular la información y dar credibilidad a los resultados. El estudio pone de manifiesto que: a) las experiencias vitales de los jóvenes que salen del sistema de protección generan múltiples carencias; b) estas carencias limitan sus

“…It may be helpful to think of the value of informal as well as formal approaches to enhancing young people's employability skills in terms of finding and holding down a job. These skills are extremely valuable and necessary to help young people such as care leavers to be self sufficient in the labour market and in life (Arnau‐Sabatés et al ). The findings presented here are a reminder of how full‐time carers may play a key role in the transmission or cultivation of such skills (especially the more elusive ‘soft’ skills) amongst young people in care.…”

The aim of this component of a preliminary cross-national study (Ireland and Catalonia) of care leavers' experience in the world of work is to explore how carers may influence the entry of young people in care into the world of work, and how they may also influence the young people's progress in that world. A total of 22 care leavers, aged 23-33 years, were recruited on the basis of their having substantial employment experience since leaving care. Evidence from the interviews reveals the importance of the role of carers in the work-related progression of the young care leavers, especially in relation to gaining work experience while they were still in care. The qualitative analysis shows that carers were influential in promoting (and sometimes hindering) progress in work and education. Carers were often reported to play an important role in opening up opportunities, giving support (modelling skills development, giving practical help, etc.), being role models, and cultivating the young person's agency. On the basis of these findings, we propose an initial conceptualisation of carer roles in positive work support.

“…The labor insertion of young people may be considered the transition process from adolescence into adulthood (Arnau et al 2014), as it implies that the person must take on new responsibilities which, up until then, fell on the parents or legal tutors. Therefore it can be considered as a turning point into adulthood, as it implies the ending of the training period to access the active life and, consequently, employment (Martínez-rodríguez and Carmona-orantes 2010).…”

Introduction: Labor insertion for young people is probably more difficult nowadays than it was a few decades ago in all productive sectors and in academic education. A few decades ago, having a university degree was a guarantee of quick labor insertion, but nowadays, although having a university degree may somewhat alleviate the unemployment rate, it is still high among recent university graduates. In this paper, we show the differential profile of the companies who do hire recent graduates as compared to those who do not.Methodology: We worked with a sample of 1,325 employers from the business world of Catalonia, who were administered the questionnaire prepared adhoc during 2014. Results: The main results show that the more workers a company has, the higher the probability that they will hire recent graduates. Companies with a high percentage of graduated workers are more likely to hire recent graduates. Companies who are willing to work with Agency for the Quality of the University System of Catalonia hire more than those who are not. And finally, the service sector hires more than construction or industry.Conclusions: In the present study we have shown a differential pattern between the companies that hire recent graduates or not, a very important aspect because this could help define university policies to facilitate the transition to the labor market.
