Region 7- Employment & Disability
Under the Workforce Investment
Act of 1998, regional workforce
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 and work
together to improve accessibility for all individuals, including job
seekers with disabilities.
To learn more about the partner agencies serving your area, please visit

Partners are an

program. This is one
of many work incentives for SSI & SSDI beneficiaries available
through Social Security.

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.
