Topics:
SESSION 1
Session 1 Online Courses (SETP 101 & 102): Supported Employment Overview provides an overview of the service of supported employment in Kentucky, including OVR required documentation and expectations, and the nature of supported employment as opposed to other support services. Session 1 also includes Understanding the Power of Perceptions and Valued Roles. Upon registration participants are asked to indicate if they provide Traditional or IPS Supported Employment and they will have the overview course specific to the service they provide.
Session 1 Live via Zoom (3 days):
Day 1 – Person Centered Job Selection/Career Profile
What’s a good job for this person, and how do we know? How might we discover personal gifts and talents previously unrecognized? What are fitting types of work formerly unconsidered? This day will focus on the process of: planning personalized approaches to discovery, writing a Person Centered Employment Plan/Career Profile, and using what’s learned to get ready for job development.
Day 2 – Job Development
After we know the kind of job we’re seeking, then how do we find it? What are varied ways that we might represent the people we serve? What are issues surrounding disclosure? We’ll explore: customized jobs, informational interviews, contacting employers, employer incentives, answering employer objections, developing public relations materials, and more.
Day 3 – Job Analysis & Long Term Supports
We’ll learn about taking the next step – moving from job development to job analysis: studying workplace culture and learning about areas of particular importance, learning the typical employee instructional/support practices within a business, and defining the roles of the SE Employment Specialist in a way that honors typical business practices to the fullest extent possible. This information is then built upon to discuss effective ways to provide support over time, both on and off the job site.
SESSION 2
Session 2 Online Course (SETP 103): Overview of the Impact of Wages on Social Security Disability Benefits
Session 2 Live via Zoom (1 day):
Day 1 – Overview of the Impact of Wages on Social Security Disability Benefits
This day of training will build upon the required online course (SETP 103) by providing opportunities to apply what was learned. Did you know someone who receives SSI (Supplemental Security Income) or SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) can work, possibly even full-time, and still maintain their eligibility for a cash payment and Medicaid or Medicare? Did you know you can save $16,000/year in a STABLE account, and more if you’re working, and not lose eligibility for SSI, Medicaid or other means-tested programs? By the end of the day, employment professionals should be able to confidently share information and resources so job seekers, family members and others who support them will make decisions about employment based on facts and not fear.

2022 Supported Employment Leadership Series
January - November 2022
(13 days - flexible)
Location:
Parts 1, 3 and 4 – Zoom
Part 2 – Zoom and in-person, University of Louisville, Shelby Campus
Dates:
Beginning January 18, 2022
Fees:
$150/event
$600/entire series
Audience:
The 2022 SE Leadership Series is designed for people wanting to develop high quality supported employment services. It features 13 days of advanced professional development: Part 1 – SRV as a Theory of Practice for Developing High Quality Employment Services, Part 2 – Systematic Instruction, Part 3 – Discovery, and Part 4 – Job Development. The demonstration of high quality supported employment services is essential in Kentucky and nationally. Our Leadership Series is dedicated to this cause — offering experiential opportunities for learning and applying the latest and best employment approaches. We’ll explore what to do and how to proceed, and most important WHY.
13 days not required – Participation in all four leadership events highly recommended. The content areas are designed to be sequential and cumulative. However, for some, participation in all 12 days may not be possible. Therefore, participants may select any combination of the four events. (Check event descriptions for prerequisite requirements and recommendations.) Because the same events will be offered annually, it will be possible, for example, to participate in Parts 1 and 2 in 2022, and then Parts 3 and 4 in 2023.
Three certifications will be offered – We’re continuing our arrangement with Marc Gold & Associates by offering three certifications: 1-Systematic Instruction, 2-Discovery, and 3-Job Development.
