The Roca Pay for Success Pilot Program (Roca PFS Pilot) adapted an existing program focused on justice-involved youth to support men ages 17-24 who were on adult probation and aging out of foster care by connecting them to youth workers and providing individualized employment services, transitional employment, job placement, and post-employment follow up. Strong participant engagement with youth workers trained in evidence-based and clinical techniques of behavior change was a core component of the Roca PFS.

The Center for Employment Opportunities Prisoner Reentry Program (CEO Prisoner Reentry) was a 4-6 month program to help parolees get a job, make money, and build workplace skills. The Pay for Success (PFS) Pilot program adapted the CEO  program by targeting participants with higher risks of recidivism, participation being a special condition of parole rather than a voluntary program, and increasing resources for outreach and communication with parole officers.

The Work Opportunity Networks to Develop Employment Readiness (WONDER) program provided industry-specific training and subsidized employment in one of four service tracks (construction, culinary arts, manufacturing, job placement services) in addition to job placement assistance, job readiness assistance, intensive case management, support services and existing state SNAP employment and training services. Participants first met with an outreach specialist for an intensive intake and assessment process to develop an individualized career plan and select one of the four program tracks.

Resources to Initiate Successful Employment (RISE) offered enhanced services including comprehensive case management, extensive wraparound and support services, a mandatory life skills course called Strategies for Success, and work-based learning opportunities, targeting SNAP work registrants with multiple or critical barriers to employment. Participants initially completed a barrier assessment and plan for being able to take part in RISE activities.

The Palm Beach County Transitional Employment Program (PBC TEP) was designed as an enhanced voluntary reentry intervention for adults at higher risk of re-offending that added 8-12 weeks of subsidized transitional employment, structured cognitive behavioral interventions, and job readiness/life skills workshops to standard reentry services.Subsidized transitional employment was in one of three industries: construction, kitchen, or warehouse/retail. The structured cognitive behavioral interventions included CBI-Employment Adult and Moral Reconation Therapy.

Jobs for Independence (JFI) provided comprehensive clinical assessment and counseling services, referrals to employment or training activities, and an offer of the Governor’s Career Readiness Certificate (GCRC), targeting new work registrant SNAP participants with barriers to employment—including substance use or mental health disorders, housing instability, or criminal justice histories. The four-module GCRC course included job readiness skills, computer skills, applied math, a WorkKey skills assessment, and job seeking skills.

Ethics, Discipline, Goals, Employment (EDGE) - Enhanced Community College Services (ECCS) group provided intensive case management to new and current SNAP work registrants, focusing on able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs), requiring participants to enroll in a four-week career readiness course followed by a choice of three pathways—academic (basic education, post-secondary education, or occupational skills training), work (subsidized or unsubsidized employment), or life skills (work or behavioral skills).

Ethics, Discipline, Goals, Employment (EDGE) - Basic Community College Services (BCCS) group provided light case management to new and current SNAP work registrants, focusing on able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs), and offered a choice of three pathways—academic (basic education, post-secondary education, or occupational skills training), work (subsidized or unsubsidized employment), or life skills (work or behavioral skills). Career navigators at participating community colleges provided limited case management and support services, with up to two contacts per month.

Employment Opportunities, Personalized Services, Individualized Training, and Career Planning (EPIC) provided enhanced case management support, expanded occupational skills training, and offered a broad array of support services targeted to two groups of SNAP participants-unemployed or underemployed SNAP work registrants with low skills or limited work experience and those who were working but needed additional skills to increase earnings.
