A participant is referred to Vocational Re-Assessment when they completed the activities specified in the Employment Plan and the participant remains unemployed.

A Vocational Assessor must review the Welfare-to-Work (WtW) Plan and determine if any revisions are necessary to reach the goal of unsubsidized employment:

• When the participant experiences difficulties in completing the Employment Plan recommendations, or
  
  
• When the Assessment provider has insufficient information to approve an amendment or additional testing.

3. Unavailability of the training facilities required for completing the Employment Plan and no other Vocational training contractor is available within reasonable proximity to provide the required training.
