Disability Program Navigator: Resources; A) 30 Second Trainings 

The purpose of the 30-Second Trainings is that they are designed to be short, easy and fun, with the intent of increasing knowledge of disability and employment related issues. This 6 - Part Series of 30-Second Trainings was developed by Miranda Kennedy, NDI Consulting Inc., Kevin Nickerson, DPN, NY, Toni Costales-Servin, DPN, CA, with special input from Mary Lynn Revoir, Lead, IA, and additional input from the 30-Second Training work group. This series was developed for Disability Program Navigators to use with staff and partners in their Local Workforce Investment Areas to promote and increase understanding of Ticket to Work, Work Incentives and Employment Networks. There are 6 30-Second Trainings in total, however, this set of 30-Second Trainings has two versions of each training - one with sound and one without sound. This distinction was made to ease the process of downloading and disseminating these trainings, as some offices have older equipment which makes it difficult to send the trainings that contain sound files. Whenever possible, the version with sound should be used as it enhances the experience of the 30-Second Training.
