MI-GPS participants worked with a TANF-employed career development facilitator or coach to set and support progress toward their employment-related goals. Once participants set goals, the coaches worked with participants to identify and complete small activities to advance their goals. The coaches let participants have ownership of their goal-setting process and activities. Coaches typically encouraged participants to develop incremental goals that they could accomplish in three to six months. People could only receive MI-GPS services while they received TANF benefits.
