Supported Engagement Program
The Supported Engagement Program (SE) provides a positive and gradual introduction to work by offering job
readiness and job search assistance to TANF and food stamp eligible clients as they are referred by the
Allegheny County Assistance Office.
The expected outcome is a job placement into subsidized employment for a minimum of 30 hours a week with
the placement paying at least a minimum wage.
SE is a six to nine month program which provides job readiness, job search assistance, job placement,
and extended support services.
Job readiness includes interviewing life skills such as: budgeting, nutrition, conflict resolution, and
resume development.
Extended support includes on-going coaching and support services as needed to assist the client in
retaining employment
The SE plans to pursue additional job partnerships and extended employment opportunities. SE will seek
to identify resources which will provide a continuum of care and support to its clients.
The Supported Engagement Program office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
For additional program information call 412.392.4553 or 412.392.3140.
