the social workers must address these immediately. Job Readiness classes <br /> will be continuously provided, with certificates of satisfactory completion <br /> given to the clients, which can be shown to potential employers. We will <br /> maximize the work experience of those clients needing this service, by <br /> enrolling them in Community Work Experience and Grant Diversion <br /> placements. Once completing this class, they will be put back into the job <br /> search, or else referred to a more intensive assistance program, such as <br /> VR or Mental Health. <br />b. Activities and Support Services Provided: As in the first goal, the <br /> Curtis Class for job readiness will be mandatory. In addition, when there <br /> is no job experience, and the chent displays poor work habits, the Work <br /> Experience program can be utilized. This can give them job experience <br /> for a resume, as well as allow them to gain good work habits, w/trout the <br /> fear of getting fired, and without the agency having to jeopardize good <br /> relations with employers. Finally, transportation, child care, and <br /> participation expenses will be available. <br />c. Who Will Manage the Activities and Support Services: DSS <br /> Employment, IM, and day care staff, as well as ESC, VR, and Mental <br /> Health staff will provide the support services and activities to put these <br /> adults to work. <br />d. Where Will They Take Place: Most of these activities will take place at <br /> DSS, with other agencies providing space for some supportive services. <br />e. How We Will Measure Outcomes for This Goal: This can be measured <br /> through the EPIS tracking report JBREP6, which give monthly statistics <br /> for Employment Services, including full and part-t/me employment. It can <br /> be tracked internally through the Employment Un/ts own database for <br /> showing employment. <br /> <br />Staying Off Welfare After Going to Work: <br />How Will This Goal Be Met: Cabarrus County is investigating a number <br />of ways to ensure that clients remain off welfare once they are employed. <br />The reasonable course of action is to maintain good follow-up and support <br />to make sure that the client is stabilized in their job, before a crisis occurs <br />and they quit. This wood mean that Employment staffwould retain the <br />case for a specified period oft/me, after the client goes on Transitional <br />Medicaid, or else another trait at the agency, possibly the Crisis Unit, <br />would assume this responsibility. The continued WOW incentives, after <br />employment, will make it possible for clients to afford to stay offwelfare <br />and remain working. The support could include additional transportation, <br /> <br /> <br />
