Current Narrative:
Business Relations staff works with students and adults with disabilities. The NHVR Transition staff and the Business Engagement team work closely together to implement individualized pre-employment transition services (only for students with disabilities), including creating programs with multiple partner agencies to provide Work Based Learning opportunities for students. The Agency has been working with employers and CRPs to develop opportunities for career exploration and work-based learning for students and youth with disabilities. The Agency has focused on developing a menu of services and supports to assure that pre-employment transition services are widely available in the state. In the CRP program revamp (2019) a new service package for Pre-Employment activities was added to assist youth and adults with more intensive career exploration.
Business Relations staff will also be working closely with the Project SEARCH program to implement the new CRP program into the job development process for Project SEARCH. In December 2019 the Program Specialist will train all Project SEARCH job developers on the new program process which will be implemented in January 2020.
