OLGT 2018-32: TAFDC - DTA/MRC Interagency Initiative (Phase One)

The Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC) and Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) have formed a collaboration to assist TAFDC clients with disabilities in obtaining necessary support services that will lead to sustainable employment.  The goal of this collaboration is to help clients develop and enhance skills so they can compete in the employment market and attain economic stability.  This initiative will be implemented in the Brockton, Lawrence and Quincy TAOs.  Planning and training began in April 2018. Full implementation will occur July 1, 2108.  MRC has assigned 3 full time Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors (one for each of the three DTA offices) and 1 full time Job Placement Specialist to the initiative.  

 

As each new phase of this initiative begins staff will be notified.
