Current Narrative:
SCSEP programs are engaging with and seeking to be more integrated with the Combined State Plan aspects of business engagement. This is discussed in the overall State Plan.
Additionally, the SCSEP programs will continue to develop and expand upon the respective efforts of their individual organizations to create opportunities for the participants in the program. These efforts involve coordinating with and developing partnerships with multiple entities in local markets. Utilizing state and county funded resources in a number of areas is being prioritized. In rural areas in particular, programs are targeting potential Host Agencies for Community Service Assignments with organizations that understand the goal of SCSEP of moving participants in to unsubsidized employment and will consider hiring participants directly or leveraging their own resources to connect participants to local unsubsidized employment.
