- (a) **An ISP is a document that—**

  - (2) Supplements the application process and includes needed finances, special clothing, transportation, and support services necessary for employment;
  - (3) Identifies all financial resources and defines the employment or training objective and activities planned to reach the objective; and
  - (4) Outlines how the applicant will participate in job placement, where resources will allow.
- (b) The employer's job information and offer should be attached to the ISP, which becomes a part of the application (and supporting documents).
