Good Day This is your Disability Employment Initiative MYTHS Training ENJOY Click here to begin My One-Stop hired a Disability Resource Coordinator. We send anyone who sneezes, walks in on crutches, or who we otherwise suspect might have a disability directly to this person for ALL employment related help. This sure does keeps our DRC busy, but it’s great to know that our OneStop now has the capacity to serve job seekers with disabilities! Does the One-Stop described above really have “the capacity to serve job seekers with disabilities”? Absolutely! Definitely Not! Um, maybe….. Just as long as your Disability Resource Coordinator never gets sick, goes on vacation, or expires prematurely due to the pressure of having to serve one out of every five people who walks in the door! Please try again! Go Back CORRECT!!! With partnership-building a major component of the DEI (and the DPN initiative), Disability Resource Coordinators (DRCs) engage in significant outreach and resource mapping to promote cross-agency collaboration and more effective leveraging of public and private resources across multiple workforce, disability and generic service systems. While DRCs may occasionally meet one-on-one with customers who experience any number of challenges, it is ultimately the DRC’s role to help customers to navigate through the One-Stop system and access all of the valuable tools provided by workforce professionals, as well as to assist with the coordination of multiple resources needed to facilitate each individual customer’s career pathway.
