Just in Time Employment Supports This project, funded by the Kessler Foundation, is a partnership of the University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota, who have joined together to develop, implement, and evaluate the impact of virtual training and technical assistance delivered in real time to and for supported workers, their job coaches, and the businesses that employ them. Efforts are focused on determining the efficacy of the approach to evaluate its impact on outcomes, services, staff competencies, and cost effectiveness through multiple data sources and qualitative feedback across stakeholders. A service model that impacts employment outcomes at less cost and greater efficiency will be of value to funders, providers, businesses and the supported workers within the Midwest and internationally. Our unique project aims to identify sustainable and effective methods for the use of technology focused on supporting job placement and retention in both rural and urban settings. |
