Incentives Incentives are used during the Placement Phase of Taller San Jose's program to promote retention and encourage interns to participate in activities assigned by the Support Services Specialist including attendance at support and educational groups, completion of ISP and Casey Assessment and as a reward for working with the staff to complete Steps to Success goals. Incentives are managed by the Enrollment and Support Services Manager and distributed by the Support Services Specialist. Incentives come in the form of a gift card; cash rewards are strictly prohibited. Taller San Jose has established specific time periods when gift cards can be used. The participant can earn up to $400.00 during their participation in the Placement Phase. Full participation must be exhibited to receive the incentive. Incentives may not be distributed for activities an intern engages in that are outside of Taller San Jose. The following times have been designated as reward periods (Also described in Appendix E): Year 1: ✓ Data Collection Points (30 day, 60 day, 90 day, 1 year. $25 at each interval) ✓ Group participation ($25 per group.

The amount will be determined by the Support Services Specialist in consultation with the Therapist but not to exceed $100 in year 1 and $75 in year 2. Program Dismissal Beginning at the point of program application, participants are told that they must commit to participating in all aspects of Taller San Jose's 28 -month program. Though participation can become challenging during the placement phase of the program, it is critical to ensuring an intern's success toward completing the Steps to Success goals. In the event an intern is no longer participating in the program, such as no longer responding to staff outreach, attending groups or actively working on their goals to get a job, keep a job, advance in school, etc., then a formal dismissal process should be initiated by the Support Services Specialist. The following steps will be taken as part of the dismissal process 4. The intern will be provided a warning by the Support Services Specialist.
