List members,

I'm forwarding this announcement of a conference you might be interested
in.  You can check out the National Transitional Jobs Network at 
http://www.transitionaljobs.net <http://www.transitionaljobs.net/>  .  I
have been in contact with the organization to find out more about them,
and it seems like it would be an organization our members would want to
be aware of.  Has anyone on the list had any previous contact and/or
experience with this group?

The National Transitional Jobs Network (NTJN) is a coalition of
Transitional Jobs (TJ) programs, policy organizations, and sponsoring
organizations. TJ is a workforce strategy designed to overcome
employment obstacles by using time-limited, wage-paying jobs and
combining real work, skill development, and supportive services to
transition participants successfully into the labor market. To date, TJ
programs exist in over 30 states and are an effective stepping stone to
successful labor market entry for individuals with employment barriers.
The Network works to influence a number of audiences to ensure that
policies will account for the hard-to-employ, that the public
understands the need to invest in these services, that programs are able
to effectively serve as many individuals as possible, and that best
practices and technical assistance are widely shared and implemented
throughout the network. 




The mission of the NTJN is to support and expand the size, type, and
number of Transitional Jobs programs nationwide and to support the
quality of the service model.
