New IPE plan for job search's next stage

Tweet

This afternoon, I received my new IPE plan from Jamie on the new steps going forward. It highlighted that I have the cognitive and physical ability to obtain and maintain employment, a hard worker, and have a positive attitude. The goal is to bring my speed and pace up to be employed in a competitive workplace. My main priority is a place where I don't have to work as fast, like working in the back of a store unloading boxes and pallets. It also stated that I have some experience and a lot of experience via volunteering. And that I'm interested in obtaining employment in stocking/order filling, and that I preferred to work closer to my home. It said, according to Indeed, there are 300+ jobs in my local metro area for stocking. (I'm not too sure about the order filling part, since that requires a forklift and heavy lifting.) And yes, I'll have a job coach to help me with the speed/pace part for training. Then it goes into detail, that the second part of the plan, is job skill training (resume, interviews, job leads), followed by development and retention. And when I land a job, I'll have a job coach for 3 months to make sure it goes smoothly before the case can be closed as a good match. And then travel training for jobs on the bus, though I prefer to use my own bus to get there if it's nearby. The end outcome for this plan is a year from now. So I'd signed it and returned it to Jamie. Now I'll wait to hear from Maggie after Labor Day Weekend on the information for my next trial period to start. I assume she already had sent the new referral over to Maggie awhile ago to get things moving. If I hear anything from Jamie and Maggie, I'll let you know. when I do.
