Once employed individuals receive case management services to support job retention and their ability to become independent and self-sufficient.

- Effectively engage at-risk and shelter-based participants to encourage participation in employment, educational, or other related skills-based development opportunities.
- Provide retention services to support maintaining employment and fostering self-sufficiency such as conflict resolution, reducing performance obstacles, workplace etiquette, encouraging upward mobility/job growth/new opportunities, and seeking educational enhancement.
- Participate as a presenter for some training workshops offered by Job Central. (Topics may include resume preparation, interview skills, employer relations, among others).
- Identify, develop, and maintain relationships with key businesses and places offering job opportunities, apprenticeships, professional development, and training.
- Accurately prepare and enter progress notes weekly into the LUW database for participants, detailing interactions, observations, progress or challenges in meeting set goals and action items.
