iGreet, Placement 101, Job Coaching, and Generational Considerations trainings

We are following up on our recent Innovative Guided Rehabilitation Employer Engagement Training (iGREET) cohort training opportunity.

We are pleased we've had such a great response from partners who are interested in this training! However, we know space is limited and unfortunately, we can’t accommodate everyone who expressed interest. Therefore, we are highlighting several other options:

  • The iGREET cohort trainings are intended for new placement professionals - we know we can’t offer these iGREET sessions to everyone, so we want to target staff who are new to their placement roles. For staff that want to take the same course without the 2 week recap cohort, they can take that free of charge here. This is a great option for seasoned staff who want a refresher or Managers/Supervisors. The end date says January 31st, but it is actually open until March 19th.
  • There will be 2 more iGREET training cohorts offered in April. We will use the same registration process as before: one staff per agency, per cohort and reservations will be on a first come, first served basis.
  • Another training option is Placement 101 offered by the Minnesota Rehabilitation Association (MRA) – Job Placement Division (JPD) and a network of Community Rehabilitation Providers. Placement 101 flyer
  • Additional training opportunities include Job Coaching for Sustainable Employment and Generational Considerations within Job Placement, both sponsored by MRA-JPD. here:
