Work Experience Program (WEP)

In October of 1997 the State of Ohio adopted the Welfare Reform Act. This act requires that all persons who receive benefits (cash, food, stamps, medical) will work in exchange for these benefits. WEP job sites receive volunteer hours in return for training participants a skill and evaluating their performance in order to move them from welfare roles to paid employment. As a WEP site, participants are assigned to CAP Darke County to become familiar with workplace expectations and to learn appropriate work behaviors, attitudes and teamwork skills necessary to compete in the work force.
