008 COMPONENTS.

Components make up the menu of activities that the participant and the Department choose from when developing the Self- Sufficiency Contract. Activities that the participant engages in should build on his or her strengths, help to remove barriers to self-sufficiency and prepare him or her for entry into the labor market. Successful completion of activities within the components should build momentum and forward movement toward the achievement of the participant’s vocational goal and eventual self-sufficiency. A participant may participate in one or more core activities at a time or a combination of core and non-core activities at the same time in order to comprise full-time participation. Each component activity is reflected as a separate element in the Self-Sufficiency Contract. Participation in component activities must be supervised. Participation hours must be tracked, documented and verified.
