Paving the Way to Employment 

The Center for Excellence in Disabilities, in collaboration with WorkForce West Virginia, has announced the Disability Program Navigator Project.  The purpose of the project is to increase employment and independence for people with disabilities.  Some of the key components of the Disability Program Navigator Project include: 

  • Providing One-Stop staff answers to questions about serving job seekers with disabilities

  • Being a resource for One-Stop staff and job seekers regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act and reasonable accommodations

  • Educating One-Stop staff regarding disability etiquette and people first language

  • Fostering a collaborative effort by bringing multiple partners together who are working with an individual

  • Removing barriers to employment

  • Improving communication between One-Stops and their partners

Eleven disability program navigators are located throughout the state in One-Stop Centers.  For more information, call Kellie Gavran at 304-293-4692 ext. 1162 if you live in the northern part of the state or Joy Mason in the southern part of the state at 304-720-3200 ext. 206.
