WORKING AT THE SAME JOB LOCATION
ASKED THE STUDENT, THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
CONDUCTED A SURVEY OF LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCIES REGARDING
THIS NEW REQUIREMENT AND FOUND
THAT HMM. FOR COST REASONS. A
LARGE NUMBER OF WORK,
EXPERIENCED PARTNERS HAD TO
TERMINATE THEIR CONTRACTS WITH
THE LIAISE, WHICH MEANT A
MAJORITY OF WORK EXPERIENCE
PROGRAMS AS WELL AS THE
WORKABILITY PROGRAM THAT SERVES
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES WERE
NO LONGER AVAILABLE WITH THE
NUMBER OF WORK EXPERIENCE
OPPORTUNITIES SEVERELY REDUCED.
STUDENTS WHO WANT TO WORK NEED
TO APPLY FOR A STUDENT WORK
PERMIT AND FIND EMPLOYMENT AT A
BUSINESSES THAT IS NOT REQUIRED
TO ADHERE TO EMPLOYEE BACKGROUND
CHECK REQUIREMENTS. SB 5 31 WILL
ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY BUSINESSES
BACK INTO PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE
