b. 2. The State’s long-term strategy for engaging employers to develop and promote opportunities for the placement of SCSEP participants in unsubsidized employment. (20 CFR 641.302(e)) (May alternatively be discussed in the State strategies section of strategic plan.)
Current Narrative:
Louisiana SCSEP will continue working toward strengthening relationships with agencies and organizations that hire and train SCSEP participants. Sub-grantees collaborate with training and educational institutions to assist participants in resume writing and interviewing skills. Moreover, Louisiana SCSEP identify which jobs are available in each area and provide the necessary training, including but not limited to computer training, job readiness, appropriate workplace behavior, specialized software training, and soft skills training. In addition, the Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics will be utilized to identify areas of highest unemployment and job placement opportunities. More importantly, Sub-grantees will work with participants to overcome barriers that could prevent their retention in unsubsidized employment through follow-up and the provision of supportive services.
