NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: JOB SEARCH TRAINING Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services. Idaho’s Employment and Training (E&T) program includes a Job Search Training (JST) component that provides structured, skill-building activities to enhance participants’ job readiness and support their efforts to obtain and retain employment. The JST component is intended for individuals who may require additional assistance to succeed in independent job search activities. Services are delivered by E&T contractors and community-based partners, and may occur in person, online, or via virtual platforms, depending on provider capacity and participant accessibility. Typical training topics include: • Effective job search strategies and use of online job boards • Resume and cover letter development • Interview preparation and techniques • Workplace expectations and professional communication • Guidance on appropriate workplace attire (“dress for success”) • Basic digital literacy skills needed for job seeking These services equip participants with the foundational skills and confidence needed to engage in job search activities effectively, increasing their potential for employment and long-term self-sufficiency. Participants receive ongoing support through regular case management. Employment Coaches maintain at least monthly contact with each participant to monitor progress, ensure alignment with individualized employment goals, and offer guidance throughout the training process. Participants are also encouraged to initiate contact with their Employment Coach at any time to request additional assistance or address new or evolving needs.
