Wouldn't that be a cool job? And isn't it neat that a government agency is even developing jobs like this~even recognizing the importance?

Chance are that this is not self-sufficiency as we think of it. It is probably more of a "get off of Government assistance" program, and more related to job training and education.

However, it would be nice if it is self-sufficiency as we know it.

I am guessing it is helping disabled people learn skills so that they can live on their own. I have a friend that has that type of job.
I know another lady whose job it was to help people show up to work on time, get a shower, dress appropriately....that kind of stuff. I thought it was always ironic that she had that job because she was never on time for piano lessons and then would just do a no call no show all the time! Got real annoying!

Yup, 'self sufficiency specialist' certainly does not mean in this ad what it means on this forum
