HPOG 2.0 used a career pathways framework with three core components: basic skills training, health care occupational training, and wraparound supports and services.

Participants also received job retention services to help them resolve difficulties that emerged in the workplace.

STEP participants received home visits from community liaisons to identify and mitigate any barriers that might prevent participants from traveling to the program offices. In the program offices, participants were assigned a case coordinator, who conducted assessments to determine barriers to employment. Case coordinators worked with no more than 20 participants at a time. The case coordinator and specialized vocational rehabilitation staff developed a plan to address the barriers, and participants began activities tailored to overcoming their barriers.
