We want to partner with businesses interested in hiring more people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).  We also want to partner with Supported Employment Service Providers wanting to strengthen their approach with businesses to reduce on-site job coaching services.  

For Businesses:

We will provide grant funds and technical assistance to WI-based businesses so that they can tap into new talent and learn best practices for finding, hiring, and supporting workers with IDD. 

Grantees will receive technical assistance from a BPDD project consultant to plan and implement their hiring initiative.

Check out the application for more information. Deadline to apply: Wednesday, May 24, at 5p.m.

For Supported Employment Service Providers:

We will provide grant funds and technical assistance to Supported Employment Service Providers to take new or creative approaches to reduce the need for job coaching. These approaches include better job matching and customization, employer engagement, systematic instruction, natural supports and paid coworker support options.  

Grantees will receive technical assistance from a BPDD project consultant to plan and implement their work plan.

Check out the application for more information. Deadline to apply: Friday, May 26, at 5p.m.
