Current Narrative:
METP will continue to assist participants with job searches, job search training, educational services, vocational and technical training and other miscellaneous support services even though the primary implementing agency will be DWD. The Family Support Division (FSD) will maintain a contract with MU to provide intensive case management services as well as other services and components based on the participant’s need on at the request of the WDBs.
The FSD believes the transition to DWD will: streamline services with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act (WIOA); provide more opportunities for volunteers statewide; establish the increased capacity to support able bodied adults without dependents (ABAWD) seeking services to maintain their Food Stamp benefits; and increase the locations participants can be served at from four locations to thirty–two locations.
MU and the DWD will report information regarding training or work requirements at the end of each business day. In addition, there will be primary contacts with FSD, DWD and MU to facilitate communications.
