LWDBs will tailor the delivery of supervised job search services to the specific needs of participants. Supervised job search activities are limited to 39 hours per month, which is less than half of the monthly 80- work requirement and must be combined with other allowable program components. Describe the direct path to employment. Participants assigned to the supervised job search component are provided with job search assistance and guidance to include-job referrals and job leads, hiring events invitations, and labor market information. These types of activities ensure a direct linkage to the employment opportunities of individuals engaged in the activity. This means, a participant in a supervised job search must likely be able to find a job through the activity, and there must be appropriate jobs available for that participant in the community. To ensure this, during the case management process, LWDBs will apply the job readiness criteria outlined below to ensure participants are assigned to this component appropriately. Additionally, case managers will utilize labor market information to ensure supervised job search activities align with available in-demand and available jobs in the local area.
