JobWorks Specialists assist MFIP recipients in finding and maintaining employment through one-on-one mentoring. Follow-up services are provided to recipients for 90 days after obtaining employment, or longer if necessary, and the specialist may serve as a liaison between the employer, Social Services, WorkForce Centers and the recipient as needed. The goal is to help the individual overcome any barriers to employment so they can be successful at maintaining long-term employment. Together, the JobWorks Specialist and the MFIP recipient develop a coordinated Service/Employment Plan, which includes, but is not limited to: recognizing strengths and limitations, developing a resume, filling out applications, targeting employers and job interests, enhancing interviewing skills, solving transportation and child care limitations, overcoming poor work habits and facing any other limitation or problems that need to be addressed before the recipient is employable.
