Malheur County Employment First September Meeting


Malheur Enmployment First met in September at the  DHS offices in Ontario. There were representatives from VR, CDDP, Lifeways Mental Health Supported Employment, Brokerage, residential and employment agencies, School YTP and Treasure Valley Community College - all coming together to unite with the purpose to see integrated competitive employment for adults in Malheur County. Theresa Knowles, Employment Specialist for Eastern Oregon from ODDS shared on Employment Path Services and there was discussion about collaborative roles between agencies. A big topic of discussion surrounded the Career Center services of TVCC and student disability services.
The next meeting is to be hosted by TVCC to see the campus and expand the conversation surrounding community college/post-secondary education and training.
Thank you Malheur EF for a great day!
