Goal To evaluate North Dakota’s Training, Education, Employment and Management (TEEM) Project.
Program/Policy Description North Dakota’s Training, Education, Employment and Management (TEEM) Project was developed in 1997 to promote self-sufficiency for individuals who cannot find employment, even in the best economic conditions, by assessing individuals’ barriers to employment and assisting them in overcoming these barriers. TEEM includes the following components: assessment, referral, and social contract; work incentives; sanctions; raised asset levels; and incentives for family stability. In addition, North Dakota has a family cap (the AFDC-UP program serving married eligible couples, was eliminated in 1997).
Notes No notes reported.
