Question / Response(s)

A representative from the Utah Department of Workforce Services is interested in whether other states have effective models for individualized, strengths-based TANF employment planning – particularly plans that focus on individual goals along with performance measures and outcomes, and that separate out work activities so they can be flexible, and adjusted based on a client’s progress. Utah is also interested if any states have examples or templates of a strengths-based plan that they would be willing to share, or are any states in the process of developing this? If so, contact information would be helpful. Utah is also interested in information about how states define “strengths-based” in the context of employment planning, and what elements states see as important to include in a comprehensive plan.
