Work Toolkit:
Each role in the E1MN partnership has unique responsibilities that they carry out to support people receiving waiver services in succeeding in employment. The Roles and Responsibilities page in this toolkit outlines these for each team member.
As a person reaches different phases of the Engage Plan Find Keep framework, different members of a person’s employment team are activated and carry out specific responsibilities.
All roles in the E1MN partnership must carry out their unique responsibilities and collaborate.
