New Door Ventures has an impressive track-record of helping at risk youth prepare for work and life.

In 2006, an independent consultant evaluated the long-term impact of New Door's social enterprise job-training program. This report covers a period when we worked with both youth and adult clients.*

Report Highlights

• 91% of job-training clients are working two years after hire. This compares very favorably with recent research that found on a national average, only 35% of all youth hold a job longer than two weeks.
• Upon graduation, 93% of job-training clients are in stable housing compared to only 35% when entering the program, and no enterprise employees are homeless at the two-year mark.
• New Door job-training clients are decreasingly reliant on public assistance benefits after hire. Prior to hire at New Door, 23% of clients receive some form of public assistance. By the two-year follow-up, however, none receive public assistance.
• 53% of New Door's job-training clients have been convicted of a crime prior to hire, yet only 6% of those with a criminal history are convicted of a crime during the two-year follow-up period.
