NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: SUPERVISED JOB SEARCH Provide a summary of the State guidelines implementing supervised job search. Supervised job search consists of the following factors: • NC’s State approved locations are any location deemed suitable by NC where a participant has access to the tools they need. • Supervision can occur asynchronously either remotely or in person, but engagement with a skilled staff person must occur at least monthly. • The NC has selected the location of the E&T Providers and Counties for the approved locations. The criteria used by the State agency to approve locations for SJS is based on accessibility for the participant the CBO case manager’ ability, capacity, and pervious monitoring. As mentioned, this can be done virtually • Activities of participants shall be directly supervised by E&T Providers; and • Timing and activities of participants are documented in NC Works. All SJS activities must be annotated in Geosol. At a minimum, the monthly case note must include: • The title and employer of the prospective job(s) • How the job is related to the individual’s skill set and/or training • Date and time of interview • Results of the interview including start date, title, weekly rate, and hours per week of employment if applicable • Follow up actions (e.g., “Thank you” correspondence to the interviewer, I-9 Employment verification) Describe the direct path to employment. As part of the Request for Application process (RFA), and RFA renewals E&T Providers submit a written description of their approach to the project, including identification of key workforce partners and employers in demand occupations. Supervised job search ensures participants are getting feedback and assistance with this component to make them successful in the job market. Since all potential SNAP E&T participants will be co-enrolled with the NCWorks Career centers, job search activities will be coordinated within the NCWorks database thereby having a direct link to employment opportunities. 1/29/26, 8:17 AM State Plan NC FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-ncfy26stateplan//index.html 56/218
