NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: SUPERVISED JOB SEARCH Provide a summary of the State guidelines implementing supervised job search. Individuals complete job search activities via the internet, Job Service offices, and Community Options offices by contacting employers of their choice via internet, local employment office, newspaper ads, as well as those determined by the SNAP E&T Case Manager. These state-approved locations vary and are noted on everyone’s job contact log submitted to the SNAP E&T Case Manager weekly (face to face, online, or via TEAMS/Zoom). The number of job contacts is determined when the individual's assessment is completed. The individual is responsible for making the contacts with oversight by the SNAP E&T Case Manager. SNAP E&T Case Managers are available to attend job interviews for assistance and support. Individuals are required to participate for a minimum of twelve hours a month for an initial period of two consecutive months. Describe the direct path to employment. Contractors use the in-demand occupations list for North Dakota. The contractor will help determine if a participant is fit for a job off the in-demand occupations after reviewing the employability assessment. The in- demand list includes occupations determined to have a current or potential impact on the state’s economy. North Dakota Labor Market Information’s short-term employment projections were used to develop the list. See Appendix A for an example of the in-demand occupation list utilized by contractors.
