business world. Participants may also receive up to two years
of follow-up, emergency funds, job search assistance,
employment retention and transition services and the
opportunity to participate in a work experience internship.

Individuals in the Community Jobs (CJ) Program participate in
a paid internship where they gain valuable work experience
and are able to access support services and training
opportunities. Staff at WWEE have established collaborative
relationships with many local employers, offering CJ interns
a wide variety of positions and worksites. Participation in
the CJ program qualifies participating individuals for the
advanced Earned Income Tax Credit.
To be eligible for the CJ program, you must be a current TANF
recipient. For more information contact WWEE at (253) 474-9933,
or your current DSHS case manager. This program is available through the Pierce County WWEE program only.

to obtain the education, employment, business, and social
skills necessary to achieve self-sufficiency.
