Subject: FW: two job openings; TennesseeWorks; five-year project

 

 

TennesseeWorks recently received one of the Administration on Intellectual
and Developmental Disabilities' "Projects of National Significance:
Partnerships in Employment Systems Change" grants. This is a five-year
project led by my colleagues and I at Vanderbilt.  We are looking for a
Project Director and a Dissemination Coordinator. The links to the two
position announcements are below. This is a great opportunity to get
involved in research, training, and policy change activities that will make
a real difference in the lives of young people with significant
disabilities.

About TennesseeWorks

 

The purpose of this federally funded grant is to refine systems, policies,
and practices in Tennessee to ensure young people with significant
disabilities (e.g., intellectual disability, autism, multiple disabilities)
have the opportunities and supports to access and maintain competitive,
integrated employment in their communities. This TennesseeWorks Partnership
is comprised of 29 state agencies and organizations working in tandem to
accomplish the goals of: (1) further developing our Partnership as a
compelling, sustainable collaborative; (2) raising the aspirations and
capacities of young people, their families, educators, service systems, and
employers to pursue integrated, competitive work as a realistic and first
choice; (3) equipping families and educators across the entire state with
accessible and relevant resources, training, and supports to enable them to
successfully connect youth with disabilities to early work experiences; (4)
developing a shared, cross-agency data system to enable data-driven decision
making; (5) and stimulating systems and policy change statewide. One
innovative aspect of this project will be our implementation of a
multi-tiered approach to employment/transition training and resource
dissemination statewide. PI: Erik Carter. Co-PI: Elise McMillan.
