Region 11 Employment & Disability
Under the
Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Region 11 partners
joined forces to create and operate a Regional Workforce Development
System. The goal of this system is to enhance customer
service by providing useful information that will facilitate a
customer's choice.
Region 11 Partnership is composed of state agencies and regional organizations
committed to working together to improve accessibility for all
individuals. Partner agencies that focus specifically on
employment for people with disabilities in Region 11 include Iowa
Vocational Rehabilitation Services,
Iowa
Employment Solutions,
Des
Moines Area Community College (DMACC),
and
Iowa Department for the
Blind,
Region 11
serves residents in Central
Iowa covering Boone, Dallas, Jasper, Madison, Marion, Polk,
Story and Warren counties.
This
collaborative partnership of state and local agencies received a
grant from the U.S. Department of Labor and the Social Security
Administration to create new positions for Iowa's Workforce
Development Centers called "Disability Program Navigators."
Disability program navigators will not duplicate services offered by
agencies supporting local workforce services.
