Job Training Program (JTP) Supportive Services

Supportive Services provide the assistance to individuals in overcoming personal or environmental handicaps, which inhibit their employability. These services will be provided to the participant when it is determined that they are essential in achieving the objective of employment entry and when the employability plan developed for the participants call for them. It is assumed that the kind and level of services will vary from each participant but that every participant will require some type of supportive service. Typical supportive services might include, but are not limited to the following: Transportation, mileage, or bus passes. Clothing/Uniforms, for participants who are required to wear uniforms or have a dress code at their place of employment. Licenses, for participants that are required to have a specialty license (e.g. Gaming) or driving license. Training material, to provide tools, books and other materials which are needed by participants in the course of training activities or meeting their employability plan. Other supportive services provided in support of career or educational goals. Supportive services provided will vary, depending on the participants served and the conditions of the service areas. Participants needs for supportive services tend to be individualistic and require attention on a case by case basis in order to be effective. New needs may arise at any time during program participation.
