Exploring the Ticket to Work Program to Elevate Employment for Job Seekers with Disabilities
Tuesday, February 14, 2023
3:00 pm – 4:00 pm, Eastern time
Description:
Come join the Disability Employment Technical Assistance Center (DETAC) as we put a spotlight on a Center for Independent Living (CIL) that is part of an Employment Network (EN) through Social Security’s Ticket to Work Program. The program serves ticket holders by facilitating opportunities in competitive, integrated employment. In this webinar, we will hear from a national and local leader about the structure of the Ticket to Work program, how program involvement can support diversification of funding for a CIL or another service delivery program, and how this innovative program helps people with disabilities find jobs in the community.
Presenters:
Robert Pfaff, Director, Social Security Administration
Kris Carrier, Employment Specialist, New Horizons Independent Living Center in Shreveport, Louisiana
