- c. Cooperative Agreements with Agencies Not Carrying Out Activities Under the Statewide Workforce Development System
c. 5. State use contracting programs.
Current Narrative:
Through the State Use Contracting program, Community Rehabilitation Programs provide skill development and training for individuals with disabilities. While many programs providing state use goods do not meet the integrated criteria established under WIOA, the program does generate income for CRPs allowing increased stability of their overall programs with supplemental revenue. Fiscally healthy CRPs are then able to continue operations in their Competitive Integrated Employment divisions. This indirectly benefits those customers of IDVR who require CRP services.
