NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: JOB SEARCH TRAINING Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services. Job search training is a component that enhances the job search skills of participants by providing instruction and mentoring in understanding employer needs, job seeking techniques, increasing motivation and self- confidence for work. Job search training differs from the supervised job search component because of the need to conduct training activities. Job search training programs are to at least accomplish the following objectives: • Enrolled participants will participate in activities that improve their skills to search for and acquire a job. • Enrolled participants will learn behaviors associated with success in job seeking. This includes, but is not limited to identification of skills/interests, obtaining interviews, updating resumes, interview skills, developing good work habits, etc. The SNAP E&T case manager is to ensure that there is a direct link between job search training activities and the job-readiness of the participant. Job search training activities may be assigned for a reasonable amount of time based on the participant's comprehensive assessment, however, an assignment to job search training is not to exceed three continuous months. Job search training activities include but are not limited to: • Classroom instruction on the strategies and skills in job seeking; • Job lead development; • Completing resumes, work histories, and application forms; • Using resources such as the telephone, telephone directories, newspapers, internet, and friends and/or relatives; • Contacting the individual who does the hiring; • Maintaining good records of job search activities; • Employability assessments; • Training in techniques to increase employability; • Job placement services; • Job application assistance; • Resume writing; • Interviewing skills (including mock interviewing); • Work place etiquette (dress, social skills, etc.); and • Using job search technology.
