Project Emphasis: People with disabilities.
Summary Paragraph: The Full Employment Council
received a Work Incentive Grant in 2000, and the present grant funds are
intended to build on the system established through the initial grant. Under the initial grant, an automated
management information system was developed, and agencies share case management
to leverage resources. These new funds
would add assistive technology as well as fund the full-time project
coordinator, who is also the designated Disability Program Navigator. With the help of a Work Incentive Advisory
Committee, the Navigator will work with staff at the four One Stop Centers to
train staff and to ensure that the needs of career seekers with disabilities
are met within an integrated model. To
further increase its capacity to service individuals, the Full Employment
Council was recently approved as an Employment Network under Ticket to Work.
