Objective: Young people in socially vulnerable situations, including those involved with substance use, often face significant challenges in securing employment. Barriers to enrolling in long-term vocational training and securing fixed job contracts are common. However, there are initiatives that offer flexible work schedules and the potential for quick results. These initiatives aim to engage with hard-to-reach populations, build trust, provide care, and facilitate opportunities for same-day employment and some level of economic independence. This conversational webinar aims to explore these initiatives, with the assistance of intervention providers, and to discuss their feasibility, acceptability and evaluation outcomes.
