20 CFR 617.21 - Reemployment services and allowances.
- Section Number: 617.21
- Section Name: Reemployment services and allowances.
Reemployment services and allowances shall include, as appropriate,
the services and allowances as set forth in this section, provided that
those services included within the scope of paragraphs (a) through (e)
of this section shall be provided for under any other Federal law other
than the Act.
(a) Employment registration. To ensure, so far as practical, that
individuals are placed in jobs which utilize their highest skills and
that applicants qualified for job openings are appropriately referred,
applications for registration shall be taken on adversely affected
workers who apply for reemployment services.
(b) Employment counseling. When local job opportunities are not
readily available, counseling shall be used to assist individuals to
gain a better understanding of themselves in relation to the labor
market so that they can more realistically choose or change an
occupation or make a suitable job adjustment.
(c) Vocational testing. Testing shall be used to determine which
individual skills or potentials can be developed by appropriate
training.
(d) Job development. A State agency shall develop jobs for
individuals by soliciting job interviews from public or private
employers and shall work with potential employers to customize or
restructure particular jobs to meet individual needs.
(e) Supportive services. Supportive services shall be provided so
individuals can obtain or retain employment or participate in employment
and training programs leading to eventual
placement in permanent employment. Such services may include work
orientation, basic education, communication skills, child care, and any
other services necessary to prepare an individual for full employment in
accordance with the individual's capabilities and employment
opportunities.
(f) On-the-job training (OJT). OJT is training, in the public or
private sector, and may be provided to an individual who meets the
conditions for approval of training, as provided in Sec. 617.22(a), and
who has been hired by the employer, while the individual is engaged in
productive work which provides knowledge or skills essential to the full
and adequate performance of the job.
(g) Classroom training. This training activity is any training of
the type normally conducted in a classroom setting, including vocational
education, and may be provided to individuals when the conditions for
approval of training are met, as provided in Sec. 617.22(a), to impart
technical skills and information required to perform a specific job or
group of jobs. Training designed to enhance the employability of
individuals by upgrading basic skills, through the provision of courses
such as remedial education or English-as-a-second-language, shall be
considered as remedial education approvable under Sec. 617.22(a) if the
criteria for approval of training under Sec. 617.22(a) are met.
(h) Self-directed job search. Self-directed job search programs
shall be initiated to assist individuals in developing skills and
techniques for finding a job. Such programs vary in design and operation
and call for a carefully structured approach to individual needs. There
are basic elements or activities common to all approaches. These
include:
(1) Job search workshop. A short (1-3 days) seminar designed to
provide participants with knowledge on how to find jobs, including labor
market information, applicant resume writing, interviewing techniques,
and finding job openings.
(2) Job finding club. Encompasses all elements of the Job Search
Workshop plus a period (1-2 weeks) of structured, supervised application
where participants actually seek employment.
(i) Job search allowances. The individual, if eligible, shall be
provided job search allowances under subpart D of this part 617 to
defray the cost of seeking employment outside of the commuting area.
(j) Relocation allowances. The individual, if eligible, shall be
provided relocation allowances under subpart E of this part 617 to
defray the cost of moving to a new job outside of the commuting area.
