  Region 1 Employment & Disability

Under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Region 1 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 1 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 1 include Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services, Iowa Department for the Blind, Goodwill Industries, The Spectrum Network. 

Region 1 serves residents in Northeast Iowa covering Allamakee, Chickasaw, Clayton, Delaware, Dubuque, Fayette, Howard and Winneshiek 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.  

Region 1 One Stop Partners are an Employment Network  under the Social Security Administration Ticket to Work program.  This is one of many work incentives for SSI & SSDI beneficiaries available through Social Security.
