Strategies

Prohibit criminal history questions on job applications and postpone background checks

Provide basic skills (e.g., reading, math, writing, English language, or soft skills) and industry-specific training with other supports; also called occupationally contextualized basic education programs

Provide occupation-specific training for low-skilled individuals in high-growth industries, with education and supports, usually with stackable credentials and work experience opportunities

Encourage use of designated drivers via population-based mass media campaigns, incentive programs based in drinking establishments, and other efforts

Offer flexible working arrangements, allowing the duties of a single full-time position to be covered by two part-time employees

Use television, radio, print, and social media efforts to increase awareness of underage drinking and its consequences

Provide employees with child care options at work; care may be provided free of charge, partially subsidized as part of an employee benefit package, or offered at market rates

Establish programs that accept expired, unwanted, or unused medicines from designated users and dispose of them responsibly

Provide participating high school students with professional opportunities that combine academic and on-the-job training or mentorship
