7.3.1 TEMP Placement Types and Participant Circumstances

There are two TEMP Trial Employment Match Program placement types, depending on an individual’s parental status:

Custodial Parent TEMP ( TMP Custodial Parent TEMP ); or

Noncustodial Parent TEMP ( TNP Noncustodial Parent TEMP ).

Individuals appropriate for a TEMP placement may:

Require a flexible schedule or other reasonable accommodations;

Have basic skills and/or education;

Not have skills that are marketable in the current labor market;

Be nearing a time limit; or

Have barriers preventing them from entering the labor market, such as; Little or no employment history; No recent employment history; or A history of failed employment.

The W-2 Wisconsin Works agency must utilize informal assessment results to identify W-2 participants who are capable of working and may be appropriate for TEMP. (See 5.2 for more information on informal assessments)
