Training: It’s A Team Effort [Registration Required]

BACKGROUND: As many of you may know, over the past two years, CPNRI has utilized a National Expansion of Employment Opportunities Network (NEON) grant from ANCOR and subject matter experts to provide training and Community of Practice opportunities to employment providers in RI. Culminating off this work led by Jeannine Pavlak, CEO of New England Business Associates (NEBA), and coordinated by CPN, we welcome employment teams to workshops designed for seasoned employment professionals and community day and residential Direct Support Professionals. Jeannine has hosted 18 webinars with us and now that the second year is coming to an end, we are excited to bring everyone together at CPN’s office for more targeted, in-depth, and interactive discussions around employment for people with disabilities in our state.

WHAT:Too often, employment connections are overlooked simply because we limit the scope of people at the table. With the emerging Career Exploration and Discovery services available for individuals to access, it is time to focus on enhancing employment opportunities and outcomes, and investing in our workforce.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: DSPs who work in community day & residential settings

DETAILS: Wednesday, August 28 from 9AM – 12PM at CPNRI’s office.

PRESENTERS: Jeannine Pavlak (New England Business Associates) & Kie O’Donnell (The Fogarty Center).
