NON-PAID 215 HOUR JOB TRY-OUT
This program waives the Department of Labor requirement for an individual to be compensated for work performed within a forprofit private industry. The program allows a person with a disability to work for 5 hours in exploration of a particular job, 90 hours to assess a participant’s skill level in performing the job, and an additional 120 hours for the employer to offer the participant training for the lack of skill identified in the 90-hour assessment, for a total of up to 215 hours. Industrial insurance is paid through the rehabilitation agency. If the worker starts a new job within a company, the waiver starts over.
