The process is individualized and tailored to the participant’s circumstances, needs, and preferences. The component is mainly offered to individuals with limited work experience and/or a need to develop, demonstrate or maintain appropriate work habits. Specific criteria may be established by districts or worksites depending on the nature of the work to be performed upon assignment.
