NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: SUPERVISED JOB SEARCH Provide a summary of the State guidelines implementing supervised job search. Alaska has outlined the following standards in Attachment #1 of the provider agreement. Supervised Job Search: A component that requires participants to make a pre–determined number of inquiries to prospective employers over a specified period of time. The component may be designed so that the participant conducts his/her job search independently or within a group setting. Job search components should entail approximately 12 contacts with employers per month for two months. Supervised Job Search - Alaska has outlined the following standards in the SNAP E&T Provider Monitoring Guide for Providers offering supervised job search: Virtual and in person attendance is recorded with in and out times and the activities of participants. Providers meet with, monitor and document participant progress in Job Search activities monthly. Expected documentation includes the following: • Participation progress; • Changes in activities and barriers to progress which may affect job search success; • Any participant support service issued, to include a brief description and amount; • Job [search/application] logs or other logs for any participant who receive support services. Job logs must include what activities were completed to further job search and reach goals, including jobs for which a participant applies. • Reasons for delays in progress; or, • Loss of contact with the participant and inability to assess progress, when unable to make contact with the participant. When Job Search participation ends, for any reason, the provider must enter a final closing note, document the outcome and explain why the participant stopped participation with Job Search, such as employment or loss of contact. Describe the direct path to employment. Job searching is an essential step to employment. Supervised job search supports participants to develop the confidence and skills necessary to independently search and apply for employment. Supervised job search allows participants to become familiar with the resources available for seeking employment. 1/27/26, 9:34 AM State Plan AK FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-akfy26stateplan//index.html 49/97
