What is the JET program?

The JET program consists of activities designed to help families move toward financial independence. It was designed to fulfill the requirements of the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) law. All TANF recipients are required to participate, unless they are unable.

Previous welfare reform efforts found that 50 percent of individuals and 70 percent of long-term cash assistance recipients returned to cash assistance within one year!

JET is not just about finding a job for individuals, but about helping them keep the job and permanently attached to the labor force.
