  • Have basic skills and/or education;
  • Not have skills that are marketable in the current labor market;
  • Be nearing a time limit; or
  • Have barriers preventing them from entering the labor market, such as;

    • A history of failed employment.

The W-2W-2Wisconsin Works agency must utilize informal assessment results to identify W-2 participants who are capable of working and may be appropriate for TEMP. (See 5.2 for more information on informal assessments)
