Project Description:
Project will develop, implement and test an innovative peer navigator employment pathway (IPNEP) for transition-aged youth and young adults with ID/DD to facilitate their transfer of care to adult health care and assist with service referrals and supports for transition and adult services for employment, education, training, and community living. The USC UCEDD at CHLA in partnership with ELARC will develop, implement, and test the IPNEP for its adaptation as a Paid Internship Program (PIP) employment training pathway at ELARC and other regional centers. It is anticipated job seekers who enroll in and complete the IPNEP PIP will have competitive and integrated employment in part-time or full-time positions as PN in health care and other service settings.
