NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: SUPERVISED JOB SEARCH Provide a summary of the State guidelines implementing supervised job search. Supervised Job Search will be conducted in the divisional computer labs located in Southern Nevada, Job Connect offices throughout Nevada, other available computer labs, or on the participant’s personal computer device. The computer lab maintained by the DSS was chosen as it is operated by the Division that oversees the SNAPET program in the State of Nevada. It is available for Divisional use for our SNAPET participants. We have a relationship with the Job Connect offices throughout the State of Nevada and would continue to utilize these partnerships for this program. The supervised job search will be conducted after the participant receives job readiness/skills training from the SNAPET/provider case management staff. These job readiness/skills training could include job skills assessments; job placement services; training in techniques for employability; job search skills training; information on available jobs; occupational exploration, including information on local emerging and demand occupations; interviewing skills and practice interviews; assistance with applications and resumes; life skills; guidance and motivation for development of positive work behaviors; completing job applications; setting employment goals; and defining general workplace expectations and information on how to retain employment to ensure the SNAPET participants have the skills necessary to effectively conduct a job search. The case management staff will assist and provide guidance to the participants conducting job search to ensure the job readiness skills learned are being utilized by the participant. The participant will track the jobs they are applying for and provide their job search tracking form to the case manager. The case manager will review the completed job searches, provide feedback on the job searches, discuss the participant’s experiences, and provide guidance as needed. SNAPET case managers review the SEP and update, if necessary, at least every 90 days. The third-party providers will update the SNAPET Employment Plan as agreed upon with the State of Nevada. The SNAPET/provider case manager will attempt to contact the participant every two weeks to ensure the individual is engaged in the activity and receiving support services necessary to participate in the program. Each job search period is for no more than two weeks or as agreed upon with the third-party provider. When the participant returns their job search tracking form, the case manager provides meaningful guidance and determines next steps. Describe the direct path to employment. By providing access to local job listings in in-demand career fields and assisting participants in conducting skills and interest assessments SNAPET/provider case manager aid participants in the Supervised Job Search component in discovering and accessing job opportunities. The SNAPET/provider case manager offers help in developing tailored resumes that highlight skills and experience effectively as well as interview preparation, soft skills training, and tailored support and guidance throughout the job application process to boost participant confidence and performance. The SNAPET/provider case manager supports participants in navigating the emotional challenges of the job search process and constructive feedback. Through providing targeted support and resources, the Supervised Job Search program strives to help participants secure employment in an in-demand career and reduce the time it takes to find employment. The OASIS system is used to enter narrations and case management information for each customer and is accessible to DSS SNAPET case managers. The third-party provider will maintain documentation of customer contacts through their case management system. The Workforce Development staff identify community partners, including employers who are willing to work with the SNAPET population. This staff develops employment and training opportunities for SNAP recipients. 1/29/26, 9:18 AM State Plan NV FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-nvfy26stateplan//index.html 49/77
