8. FEP Employer Outreach
a. VIEW case managers should work through existing employer networks (workforce investment boards, chambers of commerce, faith-based organizations, local business organizations, etc.) in order to locate employers who are interested in accepting a FEP placement. The ESW will schedule an interview with any employer who expresses an interest.
b. The ESW will explain FEP to the employer and the advantages of entering into a FEP agreement. In addition to the reimbursement to the employer, the ESW should discuss Work Opportunity Tax Credits, the supportive services VIEW offers to help the participant be successful on the job, and the case management services in place to support the participant’s efforts.
c. The employer should complete a VIEW Work Site Position form (032-02- 0306). The information obtained from this form will be used to screen participants for the FEP position(s).
