The Road to Employment: What CWICS need to know - 2011

Available formats:    Word   |    PDF


While CWICs generally understand the importance of work under the new WIPA paradigm, there has been some confusion about how to best serve beneficiaries who stand at various points along the employment continuum.  Disability beneficiaries initiate WIPA services at different points in terms of their progression toward paid work; some individuals may already be employed when they first contact a CWIC, while others may be just beginning to consider the possibility of working.  Still others are at some intermediate point between contemplating employment and working.  Beneficiaries from different points along the employment continuum present with very different service needs.
