Transitional education and training.
414.22 Transitional education and training.--In order to assist current and former participants in continuing their training and upgrading their skills, education, or training, support services may be provided to a participant for up to 2 years after the participant is no longer eligible to participate in the program. This section does not constitute an entitlement to transitional education and training. If funds are not sufficient to provide services under this section, the Department of Labor and Employment Security may limit or otherwise prioritize transitional education and training.
(1) Education or training resources available in the community at no additional cost to the Department of Labor and Employment Security shall be used whenever possible.
(2) The Department of Labor and Employment Security may authorize child care or other support services in addition to services provided in conjunction with employment. For example, a participant who is employed full time may receive subsidized child care related to that employment and may also receive additional subsidized child care in conjunction with training to upgrade the participant's skills.
(3) Transitional education or training must be job-related, but may include training to improve job skills in a participant's existing area of employment or may include training to prepare a participant for employment in another occupation.
(4) The Department of Labor and Employment Security may enter into an agreement with an employer to share the costs relating to upgrading the skills of participants hired by the employer. For example, the department may agree to provide support services such as transportation or a wage subsidy in conjunction with training opportunities provided by the employer.
