Region 15 Employment &
Disability
Under the Workforce
Investment Act of 1998,
Region 15 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 15 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 15 includes
Indian Hills Community College,
Iowa
Vocational Rehabilitation Services, and
Iowa Department for the Blind.
Region 15 serves residents in Southern Iowa
covering Appanoose, Davis, Jefferson, Keokuk, Lucas, Mahaska,
Monroe, Van Buren, Wapello and Wayne 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.
