Let's focus on State agency services and training that are critical to help these individuals achieve meaningful careers in the Commonwealth.
I have been following Governor-elect Josh Shapiro’s appointments to the Transition Advisory Committees. As a former Employment First Oversight Commissioner, appointments to the Human Services Advisory Committee demonstrates the new administration’s commitment to the ID/A community.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the employment of persons with disabilities. Employment is a priority not only across Human Services, but Labor and Industry, Education, and Civil Service, as well. I urge the governor-elect to add an Advisory Committee on employment and include individuals with disabilities to focus on state agency services and training that are critical to help people achieve meaningful careers in the Commonwealth.
