Steering Committee
Philadelphia Vision for Employment 2010 is a strategic planning effort designed to increase the number of people with mental retardation working in community businesses. The Steering Committee guides and coordinates the efforts of six interrelated Workgroups charged with developing strategies that:
- Increase the number of Philadelphians with mental retardation working in jobs of their choosing
- Increase collaborations and partnerships within and outside the service system
- Improve practices for providing employment support
- Influence stakeholder attitudes and beliefs about employability
The Steering Committee meets on a monthly basis to review current system wide employment outcomes, brainstorm and develop new strategies, and assess performance and progress toward the goals of Philadelphia Vision for Employment 2010.
