People who get welfare help can work and still get help from the government. A new law lets a person keep what they earn and still apply for help. The purpose of GAIN is to teach, train, and help applicants find a job. The staff help to arrange child care and transportation. They also help with work or training expenses.
Applicants also get help in completing an application, making a resume, and interviewing skills.
In some cases, not everyone is required to get a job. If a person does not have any skills or has never worked before, a plan is made for training or education. This will be done in no more than 2 years. This agency helps with employment training services. They work with clients who have little marketable skills and need training.
