New Initiative Memo 3/08: TAFDC Franklin/Hampshire Employment Training Consortium Enhanced Services Program

The Franklin/Hampshire Employment Training Consortium is beginning a new initiative called the Enhanced Services Program. This new program will help TAFDC clients – both work program required and non-work program required – who would benefit from participating in skills training, job readiness and pre- and post-training job search programs begin the transition to work. Clients who either need skills training to become job ready or are currently job ready should be referred to this program. Through skills training, intensive case management, job readiness activities and job placement and retention provided by the Franklin/Hampshire Employment Training Consortium Enhanced Services Program, it is hoped clients will be better prepared for employment and receive high wages once employed. The Program has a planned start date of March 17, 2008 in the Greenfield TAO and is scheduled to end on June 30, 2008.
