Disability Program Navigator: Promising Practices 30 second trainings  

The NDI Technical Assistance Team (NDI TA team), technical assistance provider to the DPN initiative, for the month of April is proud to present Disability Program Navigator (DPN) Promising Practices 30-Second Trainings.  Each week - sometimes twice a week - a DPN Promising Practice 30-Second training will be disseminated to the DPN listserv sharing information about a particular promising practice and where you can find more information about it.

Since the DPN initiative’s implementation in 2003 in fourteen states through today, i.e., forty-two states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the United States Virgin Islands, we know that Navigators across the nation have created valuable support strategies for job seekers with disabilities, both within and outside of the workforce investment system, shaping innovation and transformation through effective promising practices. In 2008, the national DPN Program Office, in coordination with the NDI TA team, began identifying ways to capture these DPN promising practices:

• to provide insight into these strategies that have been developed and implemented as a result of your work in the One-Stop system,
• to share the methods you have identified to foster more successful partnerships, and
• to assist more people with disabilities achieve positive employment outcomes.

In addition to highlighting the great work of Navigators, the information and resources from these DPN Promising Practices 30-Second trainings can be very beneficial for you to share with One-Stop staff and partners to illustrate the impact of the DPN initiative.
