Work Experience/Subsidized Employment/Transitional Jobs Training Supervisor/Mentor Handbook Orientation
Work Experience is a training and work experience opportunity involving placement of a Workforce Center program
participant in a subsidized or unsubsidized position with designated hours,tasks,and staff supervision. The purpose of
Work Experience training is to improve the employability of a participant who has been unable to secure employment due
to their limited work history, skills, or education. Work Experience training provides an actual "hands on"training and
employment experience relevant to the trainee's employment goal. In addition to learning about specific job skills,
trainees also gain experience as an "employee"and learn about workplace expectations and behaviors. The goal of the
Work Experience is to provide the trainee an opportunity to acquire marketable work skills and training which he or she
can utilize to secure unsubsidized employment.
As a supervisor/mentor,your objective is to provide meaningful training and work experience that will increase skills,
instill work ethics,encourage responsibility,and expand the knowledge of the world of work for the trainee.
As a supervisor/mentor,you will be expected to be a positive mentor and role model who encourages the trainee to
succeed in this training opportunity. The partnership of the supervising team will determine the degree of success for this
program,its trainees,the community, and our future workforce.
The information listed below has been included in the supervision orientation:
1. The review and understanding of Work Experience Training Agreement and all required forms for placement.
2. To review and comply with Work Experience Placement Authorization,such as,start and end date of agreement,total
allocated training hours,hours per week,and work week schedule.Any hours and/or days above what is indicated will be the
sole responsibility of the Employer.
3. Supervisor responsibilities and understanding of EEO laws,grievance procedures and injury reporting procedures.
4. Time sheet verification. If any variation to work week schedule occurs,list explanation under comments section of
timesheet.
5. Telephone number of designated specialized programs staff and emergency number for reporting an accident.
I have attended the supervisor/mentor orientation for the Work Experience Training Program and received Work
Experience Supervisor/Mentor Handbook. I accept the responsibilities and objectives of the program. I further
understand that a placement of a person for subsidized work experience cannot occur until a Placement Authorization
Form has been signed and delivered with other required documentation as noted in the Work Experience agreement.
