NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: SUPERVISED JOB SEARCH Provide a summary of the State guidelines implementing supervised job search. The criteria used by the State agency to approve locations for supervised job search are providers who have access to career centers, job fairs, workshops, and soft skills training. Providers must be able to track and keep a participation log for the participant. These criteria were chosen because SNAP Works participants require accessibility to different resources to search for employment opportunities. Individuals can participate in SJS either in person or virtually. The SJS component is under the direct supervision of the provider’s case manager. Supervision consists of the case manager monitoring the participant’s activities. The participant will participate in workshops, career assessments, seminars, counseling services, and training in soft skills. The case manager must be available to assist the participant with any questions that may arise. Both in-person and virtual participants are required to check in at least weekly with their case manager and provide verification of their supervised job search activities. This is a non-qualifying component; therefore, it cannot be a standalone component for an ABAWD and must be paired with a qualifying component. Describe the direct path to employment. The State will ensure a Direct link to increasing employment opportunities by monitoring the participation data received from providers regarding job placement of those enrolled in a supervised job search. Indicate the Target Population this component will serve. Select all that apply. ABAWDs Disabled individuals Homeless Returning citizens (aka: ex-offenders) Single parents Students Those that reside in rural areas Underemployed Veterans non-ABAWD work registrants, families, unemployed Describe the criteria for participation. Include the skills, knowledge, or experience necessary for participation in the component.
