Project will focus primarily on providing wage subsidies, support services, including case management, and expanded remediation and vocational skills training to facilitate upward mobility in the workplace. This will combine with the formula funds which will provide employability and work skills training and academic remediation needed to move towards economic independence, and to provide OJT and wage subsidies during an initial training period following job placement. Job placement is the first step, not the last, in making the transition. The program requires rapid job placement and intense pre-employment training with continued reinforcement.
Participants require continued assistance as they confront new experiences in the workplace.
Guidance, counseling and subsidies for barriers will be provided.
