 of the MFIP benefit as a subsidy to employers for the purpose of 
 providing work experience or training to the participant who has 
 completed the job search plan, provided that: 

    (1) the job to be subsidized is permanent and full time, 
 and pays an hourly rate of at least $6 per hour; 

    (2) the employer agrees to retain the participant after 
 satisfactory completion of the work experience or training
