Current Narrative:
According to the 2020 CSNA, there is a need to improve the collaboration with CRP’s in job training and placement services in the state for ICBVI clients.
To accomplish this, ICBVI will:
- Commit to annually reviewing CRP cooperative agreements and collaboratively identify areas for service improvement;
- Commit to providing training and support with CRP’s to help them increase their capacity to provide all employment services, including Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS).
- Continue to provide CRP’s training in blind skills, and how to work with individuals who are blind or visually impaired. This has been a huge success, and ICBVI is committed to continue doing this in all of the regions across the state as a part of this state plan.
