Man-Tra-Con Corporation provides staff-assisted core services such as career exploration, labor market information, individual job development, job search, placement and assistance with resume writing and interviewing techniques.

To be eligible to receive staff-assisted core services an individual must be:

We also provide intensive services such as comprehensive assessment, full development of an individual employment plan and case management.

To be eligible to receive intensive services an individual must be:

• an adult or dislocated worker
• determined by a Career Specialist to be unable to obtain or retain through core services employment that leads to self-sufficiency

We also administer training services such as issuing individual training accounts (ITAs) for certified training programs listed on the state training provider list and On-The-Job training programs. Financial assistance may be available for customers who lack marketable skills and need training assistance to find self-sufficient employment.

To be eligible to receive training services an individual must be:

• determined by a Career Specialist to have received core and intensive services and are in need of training services to obtain employment. In order to select a training program from the state list, it must be directly linked to employment opportunities in the local area

The On-The-Job training program is designed to compensate the employer for the extraordinary costs associated with training participants and the costs associated with the lower productivity of the participants. Employers are reimbursed 50 percent of the wage rate of an OJT participant. This is a great way for job seekers to get priority access to jobs!

Customers enrolled in staff-assisted core, intensive or training services may be eligible to receive support service payments such as mileage for job interviews, mileage to and from school, daycare expenses, tools, clothing, physicals, drug screenings and background checks required by the employer before the customer may begin their employment.
