Employment Specialist Supplemental: Connecting Data With Best Practice: A Comprehensive Assessment Of Supported Employment Services (CASES)

Being the manager of a Supported Employment (SE) program is not easy! There are many moving parts to coordinate, many people to satisfy, and many pressures to keep the program financially sound and properly staffed while still providing quality, billable services to individuals with disabilities. With all these concerns and areas to oversee, it is easy for an SE manager to miss the big picture. The Comprehensive Assessment of Supported Employment Service (CASES) guide and tool was created to help SE managers effectively and accurately use data to track trends in service provision, staffing needs, and employer relations. Lack of time is a reality for SE managers and this tool was created with this obstacle of time in mind; with basic input once a month, the tool will give a manager valuable information on essential areas for agency success through automatically generated data. This workshop will provide professionals with a clear understanding of what data trends are critical to monitor to: provide more responsive support and service; increase retention and employee satisfaction; and nurture sincere relationships with employers. Participants will leave with the CASES guide and data tool as well as the knowledge and guidance to use it to better their entire organization.
