Public housing tenants who were not disabled, over the retirement age, or facing special circumstances could be required to work or participate in a work training or community service program. As it has been done in Atlanta public housing as well as the Jobs-Plus program, coordinators could be assigned to support residents in accessing resources and counseling.

Public schools could offer apprenticeships / internships
By Hicbd
As in Germany, public schools could offer a “dual system” where students could split their time between classroom coursework and apprenticeships in companies. The coursework could be structured around the job track students choose and employers could help design the curriculum and cover the program’s cost.

Earning supplements could provide beneficial, cost-efficient effects for low-wage workers
By Hicbd
Earning supplements (a monetary payment on a monthly basis) provided to low-wage workers could encourage work, help sustain employment, and increase incomes as well as increase academic outcomes for pre-school children. If the supplements could be combined with employment services and be provided to long-term welfare recipients and unemployed, they could have larger effects.

Employers could enroll workers in an opt-out direct deposit savings account
By Hicbd
Employers could enroll workers in an opt-out direct deposit retirement or savings account that places a small percentage of each paycheck into the account as shown in the AutoSave and Automatic IRA programs. Employers could receive temporary tax credits to offset the administrative cost. This could encourage banking access, savings, and financial stability.
