Abstract
Young adults aging out of the nation's child welfare systems are often ill prepared to join the labor force. Poor vocational outcomes are partially explained by a lack of readiness to adopt best practice by foster care agency supervisors and staff. Findings from a survey that explored the influence of supervisor and staff capacity and attitudes on uptake of career development and employment best practices are presented. Implications are discussed for utilizing the survey as a tool to assist agency leadership in planning and implementing changes that support the vocational services needed to ensure the successful transition of young adults in foster care to the adult work world.
