DETAC Results in Systems Excellence (RISE) e-Learning Community - Employer Engagement & Partnerships: Application Form
For the following grantees: CILs, Councils, UCEDDs, P&As, TBI, and CCE programs.

A partnership model of employer engagement is one in which Employment Consultants and Disability Employment Organizations provide competent service delivery, develop a trusting relationship over time, provide customer service to employers, identifying mutual benefit, and providing ongoing services (Hagner and Cooney, 2003). A strong model of employer engagement respects and empowers the business community over time which ultimately leads to increased employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities.  This e-Learning Community is intended to give you and your organization the strategies and skills necessary to develop a partnership model of employer engagement.

This RISE e-Learning Community will consist of five virtual meetings over a 10-12 week period and will provide the opportunity to assess your current employer partnerships, engage specific employers in strategic engagement activities to increase the level of partnership and evaluate the benefits and impact of one or more of your partnerships with employers. Grantees are encouraged to include other stakeholders with whom you collaborate in the development of employer partnerships.
