The work experience component is structured unpaid work in any public, private, for-profit, or nonprofit business or organization. The purpose of the work experience activity is to improve the employability of participants who have been assessed as not being job ready and/or cannot find unsubsidized employment by providing an individual with an opportunity to acquire the general workplace skills, training, knowledge, and work habits necessary to obtain unsubsidized employment. The goal of work experience is to prepare participants for and move them into unsubsidized employment or other component activities that can help in this transition. Other component activities may be combined with work experience.
The prior education, training, experience, work history, as well as job skills, vocational interests and goals, and limitations, etc. of a participant must be taken into account in making appropriate work experience placements. A work experience placement must not exceed six months.
The Department must have a written agreement with the work site. Daily supervision is required. The hours of participation in a work experience activity must be detailed in the agreement and the Self-Sufficiency Contract.
