Individuals with disabilities will be employed in integrated work settings.

Four key performance indicators established for this goal are:

  1. Employment gains for individuals with disabilities served by VESID in partnership with the greater workforce system.

Target: Between VESID and other workforce partners, place 20,000+ individuals with disabilities in competitive jobs annually.*

*SED is working with partners, including the State Workforce Investment Board, and will be making a system-wide recommendation as to the appropriate target for this indicator.

  1. Percentage of individuals with disabilities who achieve employment after receiving vocational rehabilitation services.

Target: The percentage of individuals with disabilities achieving employment after receiving vocational rehabilitation services will increase annually.

  1. The service rate for all individuals with disabilities from minority backgrounds as a ratio to the service rate for all non-minority individuals with disabilities.

Target: The service rate for all individuals with disabilities from minority backgrounds as a ratio to the service rate for all non-minority individuals with disabilities will at a minimum be the FFY 2003 rate.

  1. Ratio of average vocational rehabilitation hourly wages to average State hourly wage.

Target: The ratio of the average hourly earnings of all individuals with disabilities who achieve competitive employment to the average hourly earnings for all individuals in the State who are employed will increase.
