Introduction to the Consortium for Employment Success (CES) Model Designed to Increase Collaboration Between Placement Providers

Webinar

Description:

This will be an introduction to the Consortium for Employment Success (CES) model that has the purpose to improve employment opportunities for rehabilitation consumers by increasing the collaboration of local service providers.

The CES model assists service providers to develop a more efficient system to develop and manage employer relationships. While many communities have networking or other local groups of providers, the CES model differs from these strategies because it creates an operational level of collaboration between placement professionals. CES partners meet regularly; agree to share employer development and job placement activities; and share employer information and other resources. The CES thus becomes a collective resource for consumers and employers in the community.

The CES model was designed to meet the dual needs of providers (who are often over-extended and unable to dedicate adequate time to employer development) and employers (who would like one point of contact in the vocational rehabilitation community). By creating a systematic structure that better meets the needs of both providers and employers, this model increases employment opportunities for consumers which are the most important goals of vocational rehabilitation.

This webinar will walk you through the six (6) steps in developing an effective CES, and introduce you to a variety of strategies and tools that you can use to enhance collaboration in your local service delivery areas.
