Region 13-Employment & Disability
Under the
Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Region 13 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.
The
Region 13 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 13
include,
Iowa
Vocational Rehabilitation Services,
Iowa Department for the
Blind,
Goodwill Industries, Cass Inc. and
Vocational Development Center. Region 13 serves residents
in Southwest Iowa covering Cass, Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Page,
Pottawattamie, and Shelby 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.
