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