Supervised Job Search
Supervised Job Search must occur at approved locations where the activities of participants are directly supervised and tracked. Approved locations include any location deemed suitable for the administration of the CFETCFET program where the participant has access to the tools and materials needed to perform Supervised Job Search. Tools used in the Supervised Job Search program may include virtual tools, such as websites, portals, or web applications. Third-Party Partners are encouraged to offer a variety of locations and formats to best meet participant needs and, to the extent practicable, allow participants to choose their preferred location.
Supervision can occur separately with respect to the participant's job search activities, but must be provided by skilled staff, either remotely or in-person, who provide meaningful guidance and support with at least monthly check-ins. Supervision must be provided in a manner that best supports the participant.
Supervised Job Search activities must demonstrate a direct link to increasing the employment opportunities of individuals engaged in the activity. Job search that does not meet the definition of supervised job search is allowed as a subsidiary activity of another component, if the job search activity comprises less than half of the total time spent in the component.
Third-Party Partners may establish a Supervised Job Search period that will provide participants a reasonable opportunity to find suitable employment. However, they should not establish a continuous, year-round Supervised Job Search component. If a reasonable period of Supervised Job Search does not result in employment, placing the individual in a training or education component to improve job skills will likely be more productive. Individuals may participate in Supervised Job Search from the time a CalFresh application is filed.
Services and activities under this component may include, but are not limited to:
- Job search training;
- Master application;
- Mock interviews; and
- Resume development.
