Expanding the Vision for Employment Services
Employment is changing quickly. For many, everything from the job search process to the work environment feels different than before the pandemic. Now is the time for new thinking in employment services for Californians with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) has been redoubling efforts to support a wide variety of employment programs and improve pathways to employment. In this webinar, we will be joined by DDS to discuss employment policy updates and learn directly from community organizations about:
• Growing paid internships into employment opportunities
• Employment strategies for people with high support needs
• Innovative partnerships between employers and service providers
