Abstract

<p>This study clarifies the involvement of public assistance caseworkers (hereafter, caseworkers) in supporting children in public assistance households and who have either not enrolled or dropped out from high school. The data collected from interviewing caseworkers are analyzed using qualitative data analysis. Results show that the caseworkers first reached out to each child and parent to ascertain the child’s future career aspirations; accordingly, the caseworkers provided support for schooling or employment. The narratives indicated the awareness of caseworkers regarding the subject of employment guidance for high school dropouts. By contrast, there was no support in the case of children who found employment on their own. Thus, the children who are not enrolled in or have dropped out of high school require assistance for schooling and employment according to their aspirations, provision of knowledge and skills that are necessary to lead independent lives, and direct support from caseworkers.</p>
