WORK EXPERIENCE COMPONENT: TRANSITIONAL JOBS Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services. Transitional jobs are time-limited un-subsidized work experiences that help individuals who have barriers to employment establish a work history and develop skills to access unsubsidized employment and progress in the workplace. By having real-world work experiences, SNAP E&T participants will have an opportunity to develop not only work skills, but also an understanding of the workplace which will provide additional employment options. These WBL opportunities can be done in conjunction with private, for-profit, public, or nonprofit businesses in the community and/or through web-based resources. A transitional job contract will be limited up to 6 months required for a participant to become proficient in the occupation for which the training is being provided. The State will ensure the focus of this component is training and to establish guidelines for the delivery of work-based learning components and only contracting with agencies who will provide the services in this capacity. Currently in Kentucky, SNAP recipients in Jefferson County if deemed appropriate can take advantage of CEO’s opportunity and be placed to learn skills that will transition them into a permanent job. CEO’s opportunity is a 3- month program. Is this component subsidized by SNAP E&T? Subsidized Unsubsidized Both subsidized and unsubsidized Indicate the Target Population this component will serve.
