Webinar Announcement: Collaborating for Employment-DEED and DHS Partnership

Description:

Please join us for a webinar co-hosted by the Minnesota Departments of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) and Human Services (DHS). This webinar will overview upcoming DEED and DHS efforts to align our services and create a less complex, more consistent and streamlined employment service system for Minnesotans with disabilities served by Home and Community Based (HCBS) waivers and the families and caregivers that support them. In September, our agencies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that lays the framework for our joint efforts moving forward. The webinar will be an opportunity to learn more about our work over the coming months and opportunities to lend your voice to the process.

Do you have a specific question you hope we’ll answer on the webinar? We’d love to hear them! Submit your questions to DSD.EmploymentFirst@state.mn.us by the end of the day on December 5 and we’ll do our best to address top questions as part of the webinar on December 10.

We look forward to sharing more with you about this great milestone in our shared efforts to put employment first in reach for every Minnesotan living with a disability.

Target audience:

• Lead agency staff
• HCBS waiver employment service providers
• Self-advocates and advocacy organizations
• Vocational Rehabilitation Services and State Services for the Blind staff
