Common use of Follow-up Services Clause in Contracts

Follow-up Services. Follow up services must be provided as appropriate for participants who are placed in unsubsidized employment, for up to 12 months after the first day of employment. Counseling about the work place is an appropriate type of follow-up service. Follow-up services do not extend the date of exit in performance reporting. TRAINING SERVICES Training services can be critical to the employment success of many workers. There is no sequence of service requirement for “career services” and training. This means that the State Workforce Agency (SWA) or one-stop center staff may determine training is appropriate regardless of whether the individual has received basic or individualized career services first. Under WIOA, training services may be provided if the SWA or one-stop center staff determine, after an interview, evaluation or assessment, and career planning, that the individual:  Is unlikely or unable to obtain or retain employment, that leads to economic self-sufficiency or wages comparable to or higher than wages from previous employment through career services alone;  Is in need of training services to obtain or retain employment that leads to economic self- sufficiency or wages comparable to or higher than wages from previous employment, through career services alone; and  Has the skills and qualifications to successfully participate in the selected program of training services. Training services, when determined appropriate, must be provided either through an Individual Training Account (ITA) or through a training contract. Training services must be linked to in-demand employment opportunities in the planning region or in a geographic area in which the worker is willing to commute or relocate. The selection of training services should be conducted in a manner that maximizes customer choice, is linked to in-demand occupations, informed by the performance of relevant training providers, and coordinated to the extent possible with other sources of assistance (see WIOA section 134(c)(3)).
