OLGT 2018-28: TAFDC: Employment Services Practice Models

The Department continually explores research-informed approaches to engage clients in opportunities for meaningful employment-related activities. To that end, beginning April 2 and lasting for one year, the Department will road test multiple employment services practice models for Full Engagement Workers, TAFDC case managers, and TAFDC supervisors in the New Bedford, Lowell, and Worcester TAOs and two participating units in the Springfield TAO. 

 

These employment services practice models implemented in the afore mentioned TAOs, will serve as an opportunity for the Department to experiment with a series of minor operational changes on a small scale. Through data collection, we expect to discover the most effective ways to service clients.  

 

Statewide implementation will occur once the data has been analyzed and found to be effective. Based on the data collected, statewide implementation could occur before the one-year period has expired.
