WORKER PROFILING

Public Law 103-152, signed by the President on November 24, 1993, required states to implement and utilize a system of profiling all new claimants for regular unemployment compensation. This law also required that the State law be amended to require claimants identified as most likely to exhaust regular Unemployment Compensation benefits to participate in reemployment services. Those claimants who are referred to reemployment services must participate in these services as a condition of receiving regular unemployment benefits.

A systematic, automated process is utilized to identify, select, and refer to reemployment services those UI claimants who can, through job search assistance services, make a successful transition to new employment.

The purpose of the Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services program is to offer early reemployment services designed to shorten the claimant's unemployment period and to speed up the return to productive, stable employment.

Reemployment Services include but are not limited to:

Orientation Session - An introduction and explanation of the program is provided.

Assessment - A Case Manager is assigned to assist the claimant, and together, they develop an individualized service plan.

Counseling - Those who have not made a satisfactory vocational choice are provided career exploration tools.

Job Search Skills Workshop - A comprehensive workshop is provided which provides claimants valuable job search tools and techniques. (Click here for further information on the Job Search Workshop.)

Other Free Workshops - Additional workshops are available to focus on other aspects of the job search. (Click here for Free Workshops.)

Job Search Assistance - Claimants who are job ready and have skills for the currently available jobs are assisted by their case manager to participate in a self-directed job search. Referrals from the automated labor exchange are provided and job development attempts may also be made.

Referral to Training - Claimants who lack marketable skills or whose skills are obsolete are offered more intensive services such as education and training programs through an appropriate service provider.
