(a) Activities provided through WtW must be coordinated effectively
at the State and local levels with activities being provided through
TANF (section 403(a)(5)(A)(vii)(II)).
(b) The operating entity must ensure that there is an assessment of
skills, prior work experience, employability, and other relevant
information in place for each WtW participant. Where appropriate, the
assessment performed by the TANF agency or JTPA should be used for this
purpose.
(c) The operating entity must ensure that there is an
individualized strategy for transition to unsubsidized employment in
place for each participant which takes into account participant
assessments, including the TANF assessment and any JTPA assessment.
Where appropriate, the TANF individual responsibility plan (IRP), a WIA
individual employment plan, or a JTPA individual service strategy
should be used for this purpose.
(d) Coordination of resources should include not only those
available through WtW and TANF grant funds, and the Child Care and
Development Block Grant, but also those available through other related
activities and programs such as the WIA or JTPA programs (One-Stop
systems), the State employment service, private sector employers, labor
organizations, business and trade associations, education agencies,
housing agencies, community development corporations,
transportation agencies, community-based and faith-based organizations,
disability community organizations, community action agencies, and
colleges and universities which provide some of the assistance needed
by the targeted population (section 402(a)(5)(A)).
