WORK EXPERIENCE COMPONENT: INTERNSHIP Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services. Internships offer participants the ability to complete training and skill building with local employers. Placements can be short or long term in a work setting where participants obtain specific training and skills needed for specific jobs and/or employers. The skills and knowledge gained will become part of the participant’s resume. Internships are offered by the employment team and other community-based organizations. The component can be coordinated with the participant’s ICAN or RUFA case manager or ICAN-RU provider. ICAN/ICAN-RU providers will work with local worksites to develop worksite agreements that outline requirements for working conditions and participation. Providers will also screen participants for placement in a Work Activity and the placement will be tailored to the participant’s needs and goals. Documentation of internship activities will be kept in the participant’s file and tracked in VJL. Is this component subsidized by SNAP E&T?
