Supported Work Experience (SWEX)

SWEX participants are referred by the Department Of Health and Human Services SSP Division to gain work experience. To qualify, participants must currently be receiving TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) and involved in the JOBS program. Clients are placed at various St. Vincent de Paul worksites between six and twenty four hours per week. The services and components are structured to support effective and efficient progress to employment and self-sufficiency.

In 2009, SWEX helped 303 people.
