Work Activities
Work activities include community service placements and subsidized employment (full- or part-time), which allows employers to receive a subsidy from TANF or other public funds to offset some or all of the wages and costs associated with employing a TANF recipient. Some programs offer innovative work activities that simulate real work experiences for TANF participants. Participants gain a better understanding of meaningful work, valuable on-the-job training, and the knowledge and skills to perform a job successfully, all of which improve the employability of TANF recipients.
