Partnership for Employment is an exciting new public/private initiative
between Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP), the Department of Labor's
Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) and the Department of
Homeland Security. The purpose of this initiative is to assist federal
workers in finding alternative work opportunities and to assist small
businesses with the cost of recruiting, training and hiring these individuals
through an existing government program, "Assisted Reemployment Program”.
Under this program, private employers who hire federal civilian employees who
are currently receiving workers compensation benefits, may be eligible for a
salary subsidy of up to 75% of wages paid (the exact amount and duration of
the subsidy will depend on several factors, including the wage for the job
and the amount of compensation benefit the employee is now receiving and
training needs).To find out more information on Assisted Reemployment, please
see http://www.dol.gov/owcp/contacts/dallas/assisted.htm
We have identified a number of qualified professionals who are ready, willing
and able to help your organizations. If you have open positions, please post
them the survey instrument located on the WIPP website (add link) for viewing
by Federal Agencies. If a candidate is found whose skills and qualifications
match your needs, we will forward a resume for your consideration.
If you determine that the person is a good fit for your organization after
completing the interview process, a vocational rehabilitation specialist from
the Department of Labor will support you through the hiring and onboarding
process.
Please join us as course instructor Lisa Firestone of Managed Care Advisors
and representatives from the Deaprtment of Homeland Security lead this
exciting webinar. If you have any questions please contact Lisa directly at
