The Unified or Combined State Plan must include the following with respect to activities carried out under subtitle B—
b. 1. Work-Based Training Models
If the State is utilizing work-based training models (e.g. on-the-job training, incumbent worker training, transitional jobs, and customized training) as part of its training strategy and these strategies are not already discussed in other sections of the plan, describe the State’s strategies for how these models ensure high quality training for both the participant and the employer.
Current Narrative:
Washington pursues, wherever appropriate, alternative, work-based training models in the form of on-the-job training, incumbent worker training, and customized training, including the nationally recognized I-BEST program, which is developing enhanced work-based learning opportunities. To that end, the state has issued policies governing on-the-job training, incumbent worker training, and customized training. Transitional Jobs will also be pursued, though the State continues to seek guidance as to the fine distinction between Transitional Jobs as a training service and Work Experience as an individualized career services as both are defined as time-limited, paid/unpaid work experience. Additionally, Washington will endeavor to connect alternative training models, where appropriate, to key state and local sectors.
