PRC - Prevention Retention Contingency Plan / SEP - Subsidized Employment Plan
What is Subsidized Employment?
Subsidized employment means jobs for which the employer receives a subsidy from public funds to offset some or all of the costs of employing an individual. The participant is paid wages and receives the same benefits as any other employee doing similar work. Through the Perry County PRC-Subsidized Employment Plan (SEP) participants can obtain the skill sets necessary to fill the jobs that are available and are being created in this economy. SEP is a type of training that is provided by an employer to a participant. During the training, the participant is engaged in productive work in a job for which he or she is paid, and the training provides knowledge or skills necessary to the perform the job. Employers must commit to hire and retain the participant at the end of a successful training period. SEP activities support the development of a workforce with skills that meet the needs of employers and provide additional training options for workers and employers. SEP provides an incentive to employers to hire individuals and invest in their skill development, and trainees can earn a wage as they learn. It is a critical tool that helps job seekers enter successful employment.
