The Role of Non-Work Activities in Developing Critical Skills for Competitive Integrated Employment (Part One)

The National Employment First Community of Practice (CoP) Webinar Series augments the technical assistance areas of Employment First systems change (Capacity Building, Provider Transformation, School-to-Work Transition, Employer Engagement, and Policy/Funding Alignment). CoP participants benefit from national subject matter experts (SMEs) presenting information and resources to support Employment First efforts.

We invite you to join the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), the Department of Education, Health and Human Services and members of Federal Community Engagement Cross-Agency Workgroup, as we present a two-part series on Understanding Community Engagement and its role in expanding Competitive Integrated Employment.

Part One: The Role of Non-Work Activities in Developing Critical Skills for Competitive, Integrated Employment. Join leaders, direct support professionals and people supported as they discuss the invaluable role non-work activities play in Community Engagement and building critical life and social skills needed to ultimately find success in employment. Hear both firsthand accounts of how community-based activities foster social and professional development as well as research behind the importance of community engagement as part of Employment First efforts.
