The purpose of follow-up services is to increase the likelihood of continued employment, retention, and earnings of a participant that has been placed in unsubsidized employment.1 Therefore, DWD-DET has determined that "placed in unsubsidized employment" does not include placement in temporary or part-time jobs unless the employment relates to the participant's occupational goals as outlined in their Individual Employment Plan (IEP).
An example of a temporary or part-time job includes a job to help the participant complete the program/training identified on their IEP. The job may or may not be over 32 hours per week if it does not lead to economic self-sufficiency and is without benefits.
Follow-up services in the Title I Adult Program and the Dislocated Worker Program may begin immediately following placement into unsubsidized employment if the participant is expected not to receive any future services other than follow-up services.2
