Los Angeles county is offering a webinar to inform that they have an opportunity to hire temporary workers through a stimulus program administered thru LA County.
The Transitonal Subsidized Employment program (TSE) was developed for participants who remain unemployed or underemployed after receiving services and job search assistance. The goal is to provide participants with hands-on experience in a real work setting acquiring wages and new skills, assisting them to be more marketable.
Basically, TSE is stimulus-funded temporary employment. Based upon circumstances, the subsidy can cover up to 100% of the temporary employees wages. More often than not though, the funding covers 80% of the wages and the employer is required to contribute 20%. The hope is that, by the time the stimulus dollars dry up, the economy will be better and the employees will become permanent, paid 100% by their employers. The temp agency administering the stimulus dollars on the County’s behalf is the South Bay Workforce Investment Board.In a report by our CEO dated 2/1/10, we were informed that the TSE program has enrolled 4,022 participants between 4/27/09 and 1/13/10, 1,058 of whom have been placed at 170 County work sites as temporary employees. The initiative will continue through September 30, 2010.
