Orientation and Assessment

CFET Third-Party Partners must provide participants with an Orientation outlining their program and services provided. This should include participant expectations and rights and responsibilities.  Third-Party Partners must assess the skill level, aptitude, interests and supportive service needs of the CFET participant in order to determine the Individual Employment Plan and what, if any, will be the most effective CFET component for that participant. CFET components are meant to assist members of a CalFresh household in obtaining relevant training, education and/or skills to increase the likelihood of securing employment.   

All CFET participants must have the Orientation and Assessment data entries completed in the VSAS portal. Failure to update client’s Orientation and Assessment information in VSAS may result in a delay of CFET invoice reimbursement claims for the participating month. The Orientation and Assessment sections of the VSAS portal will show the date and staff who completed the latest entry in the VSAS portal.

Orientation and Assessment must be completed before assigning a component to a participant. The VSAS portal will not allow for component entries if the Orientation and Assessment fields are not completed first.
