Making Work Pay
Webinar
The Connection between Asset Building and Public Rehabilitation: Asset building strategies and information can sometimes make the difference between an unsuccessful closure and a successful employment outcome. Employment alone does not break down the array of barriers clients frequently face such as poor credit, limited or no assets, predatory lending, a lack of rudimentary understanding of how public benefits are connected, inadequate medical insurance or poor money management skills. Some or all of these factors can impact a person’s ability to “obtain and maintain” employment. We have all had clients who lost their jobs due to one or more of these factors and returned to public rehabilitation. If we start to think how economic self-sufficiency can be a component of counseling and guidance then more clients will be able to maintain employment and be on a pathway to financial stability.
The ADX provides information that will assist vocational counselors and community providers in understanding how to lay the foundation for economic self-sufficiency. It is starting with webinars and resources and will evolve in the coming months to include publications, links and interactive tools.
