WORK EXPERIENCE COMPONENT: INTERNSHIP Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services. Planned, structured learning experiences that take place in a workplace for a limited period of time; a program to provide practical experience for beginners in an occupation or profession. BFET providers work with worksite agencies in the development of the training objectives and program goals that would lead to employment. Each Provider and worksite agency completed the following steps: • Local high wage/high demand jobs to determine the work based learning positions. SWBL trainings in high demand jobs such as manufacturing, barista, customer service skills, culinary, IT and healthcare fields. • Training plans are developed between the worksite agency and BFET provider based off the workforce needs of the employers in those areas. • Each provider will provide an orientation with each participant to ensure they understand the impact of WBL wages on BFA benefits, review new employee packet, and any requirement for employment by that worksite agency. • Each provider will complete and review a Work Base Learning Participant Agreement and update the Individual Employment Plan with each client. • Each worksite agency will complete a monthly evaluation and engage in monthly worksite supervisor contact for feedback and case management opportunities. Employment is the goal and all non-subsidized and subsidized WBL positions supported by BFET must be career targeted and lead to permanent employment. Is this component subsidized by SNAP E&T?
