Register for the webinar.
Join the Disability Employment Technical Assistance Center (DETAC) for "Evaluating Employment Outcomes in Diverse Communities: Lessons Learned from Community Collaborations for Employment (CCE) Grantees in Texas and Virginia." ACL awards CCE grants to help increase and enhance collaborations across systems to create a seamless experience for youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) as they transition between school and work in the community.
The Virginia and Texas CCE grantees focus on youth with I/DD in racially minoritized communities and limited English-speaking households. Both grantees are conducting internal evaluations of their grants to track progress toward outcomes. Evaluation is an integral part of ensuring the efficacy of employment programs in the CCE grant. In this webinar, participants will hear from the Virginia and Texas CCE grantees on evaluation strategies they can apply to their own programs.
Speakers:
- Seb M. Prohn, Ph.D., Assistant Director of Research & Evaluation, Partnership for People with Disabilities, Virginia Commonwealth University
- Cheryl Grenwelge, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension
- Denise Catalano, Ph.D., CRC, Associate Professor of Rehabilitation Counseling, RSA Scholarship Project Director, University of North Texas
- Peggy Schmidt, Program Administrator, Supported Employment, LifePath Systems
