Below you will find additional information on what you should expect to see: Accessing the Job Readiness page - Case Management To access the "Job Readiness" page, select the participant then navigate to the Case Management menu and click on "Job Readiness". The “Job Readiness” page is opened which lists a series of questions divided into sections related to Work Preferences, History, Applications, Interviews, and Contacts. These five sections are on one page and illustrated separately. Additionally, the information collected can help you determine what follow up steps to take with the participant. You can track these action items using the "Action Needed app". To see detailed information about specific sections, see the accordion tabs under Editing Job Readiness Details below. Adding, Saving, and Viewing Job Readiness Details Initially all fields of each section will be empty. Certain fields of each section are required for completion of the participant’s job readiness assessment. If a worker cannot complete the “Job Readiness” page in one appointment, a feature is available to allow workers to save in progress answers without losing any partial data. When worker clicks [Save] button, WWP will validate whether any fields are invalid or incomplete. When fields do not pass the validation, three results will occur. Error messages will be displayed in red at the top of the page. The specific fields associated to the errors will be highlighted in red. The [Save] button will be replaced with the [Save with Errors] button. When worker returns to the “Job Readiness” page the red messages, highlighted fields, and [Save with Errors] button will remain and only be removed when the worker corrects the errors.
