Project Description:

The Go MN! project will offer people with disabilities in or contemplating subminimum wage work settings opportunities to explore careers with businesses in the transportation industry. The project will adopt the Progressive Employment Model as a dual-customer strategy to connect students, youth, and adults across multiple counties in northeast Minnesota, the metropolitan twin cities, and southwest Minnesota with work experience opportunities in the transportation industry. The project seeks to increase the number of adults engaged in and youth contemplating subminimum wage employment who apply to the VR agency for services, the number of jobseekers with disabilities who have work experiences in the transportation industry, the number of partnering businesses in transportation, and ultimately, the number of adults and youth with disabilities who transition from subminimum wage to competitive integrated employment and meet workforce needs of the transportation industry.
