What are post-employment services offered by Employment Security Department?
For a parent who is employed and still on WorkFirst , ESD employment counselors will provide services to help him or her find full-time employment or a better job. DSHS staff should refer parents that would benefit from job search to ESD using the RI referral code. ESD staff will review the work skill assessment, completed sections of the comprehensive evaluation, and the Individual Responsibility Plan and determine the level of services she or he need within the WorkSource Center. The parent should be able to come into the office at least once a week in order to meet with an ESD employment counselor.
