Description

People with disabilities want and deserve employment that is satisfying, respectful, and equally-paid. In this presentation, hear about (1) the new transition opportunities and restructions on the use of sub-minimum wage under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA); (2) a systematic exploration of state-level Employment First policy design using the Institutional Grammar Tool developed by Crawford and Ostrom (1995); and (3) the intersection of entrepreneurship and disability policy, particularly looking at how individuals are navigating service systems.
