E1MN partnership

E1MN is Minnesota’s state agency partnership to advance Employment First outcomes for youth and adults with disabilities.

Employment supports for people with disabilities span multiple state agencies, which can be complicated for all involved. E1MN coordinates and brings things together to help the system make more sense for everyone.

The E1MN partnership is led by the State of Minnesota Departments of Education (MDE), Employment and Economic Development (DEED), and Human Services (DHS).

  • MDE – Career and Technical Education and Special Education
  • DEED – Vocational Rehabilitation Services and State Services for the Blind
  • DHS – Disability Services Division

Any reference to E1MN signifies shared efforts and agreements across DHS, DEED and MDE.

E1MN works to deliver a seamless and timely employment support system for youth and adults with disabilities so they understand their options and get what they need to achieve and maintain competitive integrated employment.

The E1MN Youth partnership is focused on improving employment outcomes for transition-age youth (ages 14 to 22).
