Please join us in being part of a very important Public/Private Initiative

Women Accessing Capital 105: Partnership for Employment

Thursday, January 10th at 10am PT/1pm ET

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.

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 lfirestone@managedcareadvisors.com.
