§ 3085. Project requirements
In order to qualify for funding, the proposed training project must meet the following criteria:
(1) The project will combine the resources of the Department of Public Welfare,1 the Department of Labor and Industry and the Department of Education to test new models of delivery of employment, training and education services to persons dependent on public welfare or food stamps who have multiple barriers to employment.
(ii) Case management services for participants who are not ready to immediately enter employment. Case management would include obtaining needed job training services identified in the plan as well as necessary support services such as child care, training, transportation and the provision of supportive counseling during training and follow-up.
(vii) Projects should ensure that transitionally needy persons receive needs-based payments during training, not to exceed the amount of the applicable general assistance payment, and not to exceed six monthly payments per trainee. Such payments must be only for training which the trainee actually attends. Transitionally needy persons who start training and exhaust eligibility for cash assistance may continue to participate in training.
(3) In addition to services listed in paragraph (2), each demonstration project shall develop comprehensive service models which will combine vocational skills, work experience or supported work with skills-specific literacy training and other support services needed to help the most educationally disadvantaged individuals.
(4) Case management services, determination of eligibility under the Job Training Partnership Act of 1983 (Public Law 97-300, 96 Stat. 1322)2 and referral to other job training and education services wherever possible shall be provided at the county assistance office. The local Office of Employment Security shall locate specialized staff at the demonstration site to provide job placement services to both those who do not require more intensive employment and training services and those who have completed training and are ready for job placement.
