About the Event

Join Advancing Employment for an overview of how one state is re-writing the collaborative approach to labor shortages and building workforce solutions from funding provided by the State Department of Labor and Training under their Real Jobs RI initiatives. Director Weldon will share information on Real Jobs RI, target populations and their commitment to both strengthening RI’s workforce and increasing incomes for working Rhode Islanders. From focusing on training individuals as PCA’s, varied industries through Project SEARCH, and Self-Employment and Entrepreneurship, the panel will discuss the components of their programs. This is a unique opportunity for workforce development personnel as well as ID/DD agencies to hear about cross-walking core missions to achieve fuller employment, ideas for recruitment and hiring, and how creative braided funding initiatives can foster economic development across sectors as diverse as small business development, hospitality and entertainment, and human services.
