Grant funding can help elevate the employment outcomes of Iowans with disabilities, and Iowa Blueprint for Change (IBC) is doing just that. IBC is a federally-funded program that Iowa is using to help workers who are disabled find Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE).
Brandy McOmber, Deputy Division Administrator for Iowaβs Vocational Rehabilitation, and Ashley Hazen, Project Director at Iowa Blueprint for Change, join the Mission: Employable podcast to discuss how CIE helps Iowans who are disabled find higher benefits and wages, and how the grant is affecting change in the state.
