Plan to Placement integrates Person-Centered Planning with job development, providing attendees with essential tools for successful job placement. This course bridges a long-standing gap between planning and employment outcomes by guiding attendees through a full employment path—from discovery to placement—using Person-Centered Employment Planning tools. Attendees work directly with job seekers from their caseloads and receive practical guidance throughout the course to align their strategies with each individual’s unique strengths, interests, and conditions for success. 

The first two sessions of the Plan to Placement Cohort Series will walk participants through a person-centered employment planning process alongside job seekers chosen by participants. The following four sessions will weave in job development techniques for the job seekers who are currently in job development services. During each session, we will reflect on how to apply the techniques to specific steps on behalf of each job seeker. The goal of this process is that job seekers will be close to placement by the end of the series. Participants time in this cohort can be considered part of the job development process.
