This guide describes how Neighborhood Networks centers can identify, provide, and use local partners and center staff to deliver effective follow-up retention services to residents who have just made the transition from unemployment to employment. (Neighborhood Networks, a community-based initiative, encourages the development of resource and computer learning centers in Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD]-assisted and/or -insured properties.) It presents a 10-step approach to effective job retention, showing centers how to: (1) address difficult issues residents may face when they become employed; (2) develop tactics for helping newly employed residents at critical intervention points; (3) identify and develop an effective retention program; (4) determine the scope of retention services residents need to succeed in the workplace; (5) assess and deliver retention services; (6) evaluate and upgrade essential local support services; (7) use local mentoring programs to supplement retention efforts; (8) create and implement employer outreach and information programs; (9) identify better jobs and market niches for residents; and (10) establish resource centers for residents in their second and third job search. Descriptions of five national best practice retention support models are provided. (YLB)
