We are excited to announce that the Technology in Employment Community of Practice is now open to employment service providers and support coordinators across Missouri. This community of practice is a collaborative effort between Missouri Assistive Technology, the Division of Developmental Disabilities, and Employment First Missouri. Meetings will be held via Zoom on the first Thursday of each month from 1:00pm to 2:00pm. Participation id free of charge.

The community of practice will focus on two key areas:

• Technology Solutions in Employment: Explore technology tools and strategies that support individuals throughout every stage of employment services, including workplace success and job retention.
• Building Organizational Capacity: Learn practical approaches for increasing your organization's use of technology and supporting staff in developing confidence and competence with technology. This track may be especially valuable for leaders, managers, and supervisors responsible for staff development and service quality.
