Project Description:

Business Advisory Council CEDD staff member Steve Ruder organizes and sustains a Northern CA Business Advisory Council (BAC) to promote collaboration among local businesses and employment and training programs. BAC provides advice, guidance, and support for the expansion of high-quality workforce development programs for people with DD. The BAC is a vehicle to increase the level of service among the agencies supporting people with disabilities with their employment. Planning meetings are opportunities for support agencies to share information and effective strategies and to discuss practices that are counterproductive. DOR provides information about services and learns about challenges and opportunities support agencies are experiencing.
