The Work Search program is currently suspended indefinitely as the Ada County Sheriff’s Office is helping to combat the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Anyone with questions should call 208 577-3460.
The Ada County Work Search program is designed to offer eligible participants the opportunity to stay at the Community Transition Center while searching for employment. Participants receive enhanced case management services and related employment classes. Participants are allowed to go into the community to submit applications and attend job interviews. Participants may be required to attend Workforce Readiness courses. When they achieve verified employment, the participants will be moved over to the Work Release program, where they will complete their remaining jail days.
Eligibility requirements for the Work Search Program
- Participants must be court-ordered to “All Options” or “Work Search/Work Release”
