Describe the criteria for participation. Include the skills, knowledge, or experience necessary for participation in the component. For example, literacy or numeracy levels, recent labor market attachment, computer literacy, etc. As indicated in the Target Population section, individuals who are subject to SNAP work requirements may be assigned to a pre-apprenticeship (WBLPA) based upon the district’s determination that participation in such program is necessary or otherwise appropriate to enable the participant to obtain employment or upgrade skills to secure a better job. For participation in WBLPA to be approved, the Employment Unit worker/contracted provider staff member must ensure that: • The goals in the participant's employment plan are consistent with the assignment. • The participant can meet the requirements for admission into the program. • There is a reasonable expectation that the participant will complete the program based on their current assessment and all factors examined through the assessment process. Individuals who are subject to SNAP work requirements may be assigned a pre-apprenticeship as deemed appropriate by the district and contracted providers. When determining assignments to pre-apprenticeship, the Employment Unit worker/contracted provider staff considers the following: • information collected during the assessment including, at a minimum, a review of the individual’s: education level, including literacy and English language proficiency; o basic skills proficiency; o child care and other supportive service needs; o skills and prior work experience; o prior participation in education and training; o training and vocational interests; and, o family circumstances, including any special needs of a child; • the individual’s goals and preferences; • the supportive services needed; • the available programs; • the local employment opportunities.
