EMPLOYMENT FIRST

​​​​​Promoting community jobs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities​

When people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) work in their communities, everyone succeeds. With the right job and supports, everyone can work. I Work We Succeed is part of the outreach efforts by Oregon’s Employment First initiative to promote the benefits of paid, integrated work in community jobs for people with I/DD.​

  

Oregon’s Employment First initiative is a catalyst for state agencies to work together to improve community job outcomes for people with I/DD. Cooperating agencies include the Oregon Department of Education,  ​Vocational Rehabilitation and Office of Developmental Disability Services. Many other partners and stakeholders, including the Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities, are also united in these efforts.
