Transitional Employment Placement
About This Grant
0380 ? Transitional Employment Placement (TEP) (Non-Licensed Program) While exploring various types of employment opportunities through short term placements, an individual (age 18+) is able to strengthen his/her work skills and record, with the express goal of achieving assisted or unassisted competitive employment in a field the person selects. TEP provides time-limited employment and on-the-job training in one or more integrated employment settings as an integral part of the individual's vocational rehabilitation growth while addressing the person?s mental health challenges. Financial/Benefits Counseling may be provided. If ongoing supports* are needed to sustain an employment situation found via the TEP process, these funds can continue to be used for this purpose. *Supports may include assisting someone in interpreting and responding appropriately to interpersonal situations at work, or learning new coping skills designed to enhance their performance at work while coping with mental health symptoms. The goal of supported employment is for individuals to work a minimum of 10 hours per week in an integrated, competitive job, with leeway for absence due to illness, vacation, or temporary work stoppages. To be considered employed part time, participants should be scheduled to work a minimum of 10 hours each week. Individuals who are scheduled to work less than 10 hours per week or participate in a volunteer position with the express purpose of obtaining employment can be served in a TEP program though they do not meet the definition of being employed in a competitive, integrated setting. See Glossary for definitions of "Competitive Employment" and "Integrated Employment". Units of Service: Count the total number of staff hours (combine direct and indirect).
