Employment
Employment Support provides support for individuals with developmental disabilities to get, learn and keep a job. It also creates a business partnership with employers who want a stable and capable workforce. Agencies and organizations also benefit from employment support as they join the partnership and work with individual job seekers and employers to create a plan for success.
The Employment First Initiative is the multi year Oregon initiative to support the implementation of an Employment First policy. The Employment First policy, when fully implemented, requires that employment in integrated work settings be the first and priority option explored in service planning for working age adults with intellectual and other developmental disabilities.
