• Subsidized private sector employment; • Subsidized public sector employment; • On-the-job training; • Job search and job readiness assistance; • Work experience; • Community service programs; • Vocational educational training; • Childcare for an individual participating in a community service program; • Job skills training directly related to employment; • Education directly related to employment for recipients who have not completed secondary school or received a GED; and • Satisfactory attendance at secondary school or in a GED program for recipients who have not completed secondary school or received a GED.

Non-exempt TANF participants will participate in the job search program, consisting of job readiness classes and supervised job search activity. Unsuccessful job search participants can be placed in another job search sequence or another work-related activity such as work experience, community service, on-the-job training, or a skills training program.

Clients must keep appointments with the employment and training programs, cooperate in the development of the employment activities included in their CMR and ISS, and participate in employment and training activities. Individuals who are not in compliance with any of the above client responsibilities will be subject to sanctions as described in "Sanctions: Failure to Comply with the Contract and Imposition of Sanctions" described in a subsequent section of the State Plan.

The State implemented an Employment and Training Management Information System (ETMIS) in July 2005. ETMIS was incorporated into the existing ASSIST Worker Web (AWW) system. The ETMIS tracks referrals to employment and training programs, hours of participation, work activities, and sanctions. The ETMIS enhances contractor and participant accountability. Additionally, it is a valuable tool for the collection and dissemination of statewide program data used for determining program effectiveness and making program design changes. The system was updated to a web-based system in 2015.
