VRS_MN Customized Employment Training

Greetings:

I’m pleased to share dates for upcoming Minnesota Customized Employment (MN-CE) trainings through 2020. The MN-CE training was developed by a team of DEED-VRS & DHS MSOCS practitioners of Customized Employment that utilized the Essential Elements of Customized Employment for Universal Application as its foundation. http://www.leadcenter.org/resources/tool-manual/essential-elements-customized-employment-universal-application This is ACRE certified training.

 

Many of you have indicated an interest in upcoming MN-CE Training cohorts. I am pleased to share with you dates for these cohorts through 2020. The training spans 14 weeks and students will complete a CE-Discovery process with a CE-Job Seeker and start Job Development. We anticipate the cost to attend the training will be 725.00 per person.

• Organization (CRP, LUV, School District, VRS)
• Region (Northern, Central, Metro, Southern MN)

(Please note: Students are typically Placement Professionals or Work Coordinators who work directly with the CE-Job Seeker throughout the CE Discovery & Job Placement process. Auditors are typically Managers of Placement staff, VRS Counselors, RAMS or Special Education leadership).

 

I will be sending out a .govdelivery message in early May announcing the locations of the MN CE Training, space available for each cohort as well as key messaging regarding the MN-CE Training, reporting/invoicing for CE-Discovery services, VRS’ Competency Review process and other related topics.
