Achieva: This Way to Competitive Employment: Leading the Way to Meaningful Work for People with Disabilities

Hosted by Acheiva.

Join Achieva for an informative webinar highlighting the wide range of support services available to people with disabilities. During this session, explore Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE), the InVEST Project, and Person-Centered Planning.

• Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) focuses on helping individuals with disabilities find meaningful employment that aligns with their unique skills, interests, and talents in inclusive community settings. This includes community-based work assessments, individualized job development, on-the-job coaching and ongoing supports, and guidance from dedicated employment specialists. You will also review available funding options through OVR (Office of Vocational Rehabilitation) and ODP (Office of Developmental Programs) that help make these services possible.
• The InVEST Project supports individuals who are currently earning subminimum wage, have earned subminimum wage in the past, or are considering it. The program helps participants transition to higher-paying, community-based employment through Competitive Integrated Employment opportunities.
• Person-Centered Planning uses the Charting the LifeCourse (CtLC) framework to help individuals create a vision for a life of personal significance. Achieva works alongside the people we support and their families to organize ideas, clarify goals, and build practical strategies—empowering them to problem-solve, navigate systems, and advocate for the supports they need.

Achieva and its group of organizations are affiliated with The Arc of Pennsylvania and The Arc of the United States.
