· Meeting both Federal Participation Rates <br />· Remaining off Work First for employment <br />· Employed 6 and 12 months after leaving Work First <br />· Reducing the Work First caseload <br />· Prevention of Welfare Dependency <br /> <br />Work Experience <br /> a. Description: Work Experience has been useful in the past to not only <br /> provide recipients of Work First with the opportunity to gain good <br /> work habits, work skills, and development of a work ethic. It has also <br /> served as a strong incentive to secure paid employment, as the thought <br /> of spending hours working for no pay seems somewhat unpleasant, <br /> even if skills are being learned. Work Experience in Cabarrus County <br /> has generally been used as a last resort for those who have not been <br /> able to secure any kind of job. <br />b. Provision: Cabarrus County'DSS negotiates the work site contracts <br /> with several providers as is deemed necessary throughout the year. In <br /> previous years, public schools attracted some to Work ExPerience, but <br /> the County Landfill did not. It was used to give recipients a "push" to <br /> move on to better jobs. <br />c. Contribution to meeting of goals: Work Experience can contribute to <br /> the meeting of the following goals: <br /> · Adults entering employment <br /> · Meeting both Federal Participation Rates <br /> · Providing employment services <br /> · Remaining off'Work First for employment <br /> · Reducing the Work First caseload <br /> <br />GED/HS Completion for Teen Heads of Household <br />a. Description: It is the objective to make every effort to ensure that <br /> teenage heads of household remain in school and graduate or receive a <br /> high school equivalency. They must satisfactorily attend school, and <br /> this will be determined by the public school or community colleges <br /> definition of "satisfactory". In some cases, teens have dropped out of <br /> school prior to graduation to supplement the family income. This is a <br /> short-term and inadequate solution to a problem, and must be avoided <br /> whenever possible. <br />b. Provision: The Work First employment program will identify and <br /> target teen heads of household as quickly as possible once they are <br /> recipients of Work First to ensure that they do indeed remain in school <br /> and satisfactorily attend. This will be monitored monthly, with <br /> notification that school officials should contact the social worker if <br /> there are attendance or performance problems. The social workers <br /> will work with families to better ensure that households are not in a <br /> position where teens in school feel compelled to drop out to assist in <br /> the support of the household. <br /> <br /> <br />
