008.01(B) SUBSIDIZED PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENT.

The subsidized employment component is employment in the public or private sector for which the participant is paid wages, while the employer receives a temporary subsidy from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or other public funds to offset some or all of the wages and costs of employing a participant. Subsidized employment provides the participant with an opportunity to gain job skills and experience. The goal of this activity must be to prepare participants for and assist them in securing permanent unsubsidized employment and achieving economic self-sufficiency. During the subsidized period the employer must provide necessary training, guidance, and direction to the participant. For worker protection, see regulation later in this chapter.
