The goal of the Temporary Assistance program is to move Alaskans into jobs so they can support their families. To do this, the program uses the "Work First" approach. This approach believes that the best way to succeed is to get a job, then develop more skills and work habits to be able to get a better job -- which will make it possible to no longer need help like ATAP.

ATAP participants are required to look for paid jobs. People who cannot find paid employment right away take part in other activities that can lead directly to employment and increase the family’s self-sufficiency. Such activities include community work experience, job skills and life skills training, adult basic education, and Graduate Equivalency Degree (GED) preparation.
