Specialized skill certifications, training for new and emerging <br />occupations, and advanced credentials and licenses will also be the focus of our retraining efforts. <br />Supportive Services <br />Most unemployed participants will need supportive services, which will be arranged by case <br />managers consistent with LWIB policies based on circumstances that may pose barriers to successful <br />participation in training and /or employment. While it is not expected that every participant will need <br />supportive services, field experience informs us that most will, especially those experiencing extended <br />periods of unemployment and /or those involved in retraining. Participant support may include, but will <br />not be limited to: <br />• Mileage reimbursement <br />• Uniforms and tools <br />• Licensing fees <br />• Parking fees, car repairs and bus tokens <br />• Testing fees <br />• Background check fees <br />• Other allowable expenses for participant support <br />• Dependent care <br />Dependent care may also be covered or leveraged from another funding source(s) consistent with <br />local supportive service policies and WIA rules and regulations. <br />Provide Demand - Driven Job Placement Services <br />The individual labor markets in the project area have many economic engines that influence the <br />demand for personnel. Many job opportunities can be found in traditional occupations while others are <br />considered new and emerging. The purpose of this project is to ensure that economically displaced <br />workers are trained for jobs for which there is demand that offer solid career paths, stability, and <br />growth potential. The top five occupations with the most job openings in selected local labor markets <br />are listed on the next page. Attachment D contains a list for all participating LWIAs). <br />22 <br />
