In March of 1997, President Clinton sought out the support of the federal government to encourage the hiring of welfare beneficiaries among businesses, nonprofit organizations, and the religious sector.
In accordance with the Welfare to Work program, federal agencies are ordered to hire workers on the welfare payroll. The program does not demand the same actions from federal contractors, but the federal procurement community can help spur this initiative.
Under certain stipulations, the government must reimburse federal contractors for expenses involved with educating personnel as long as that training coincides with the job that the employee is hired to do. For more information on these fees, speak to the contracting officer responsible for your contract, or contact the closest US Department of Housing and Urban Development contracting office.
