During our first call of 2015, new CECY members were introduced, next steps for the Vision Quest Blueprint draft was outlined, timing for our Jan 29, 2015, meeting was reviewed, and the group began to conduct an annual review of our collective work, accomplishments, and strategies,  as we launch into CECY's final two years.  We will continue this discussion at our Jan 29, 2015, In-Person Meeting.

Speak to DOR: YOUTH SERVICES under WIOA

Tues, Jan 13, 2:30 - 4:30pm

(the following is an excerpt of an email about the discussion)

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) brings significant opportunity to improve services for individuals with disabilities, especially youth with disabilities. There have been no greater changes to law affecting our programs since the 1992 Rehabilitation Act amendments.

If you work in partnership with DOR on our services to youth or provide services to young consumers eligible for DOR services, we welcome your participation at the first of a four-part series of program specific public forums established to share information and collect stakeholder feedback on the changes to our core services under WIOA.

We look forward to discussing topics such as:

·      Potential modifications to Transition Partnership Program (TPP) contracts

·      Development of additional services to youth with disabilities

·      DOR’s enhanced role in transition services
