Vocational Training & Employment
The Ohio Employment First Partnership is a joint effort between the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) and the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD). The goal of the partnership is simple: All people with disabilities have every opportunity to pursue competitive, integrated employment.
There’s no more asking, “Can I work?” but instead, “What am I good at?”
The DODD and OOD have expanded community services so eligible adults with DD can transition from segregated work settings into integrated settings, by providing supports and services that empower those to choose and succeed in competitive, integrated employment.
-I have a job but would like a better one or to move up
-I want a job and need help finding one
-I’m not sure about work and I would like to learn more
-I don’t think I want to work, but I may not know enough about it.
Your planning meeting will help you choose your job goal and the vocational services you need to help you reach that goal.
Flat Rock will provide employment services. An Employment Specialist will be assigned to assist you in obtaining and retaining your desired job. We will then make sure you receive the proper training and ongoing support to be successful at that job.
