The project focuses on helping individuals with disabilities who often face significant barriers to accessing job training and employment. The root cause of this is a combination of systemic barriers, such as discrimination, lack of accessibility, and limited resources for job training and support, as well as individual factors such as limited education and training, health conditions, and social isolation. The project aims to increase access to job training and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities, reduce disparities in employment rates and income levels, and promote greater inclusion and equity in suburban communities.

How might we increase access to job training and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities in suburban areas?

# data[].attributes.body
My project is necessary because individuals with disabilities often face significant barriers to accessing job training and employment opportunities, particularly in suburban areas. This can lead to substantial disparities in employment rates and income levels between individuals with disabilities and the general population.

My project addresses or works to solve this by identifying and addressing the barriers that prevent individuals with disabilities from accessing job training and employment opportunities in suburban areas.

My first SMART Goal is developing tailored training programs and job placement services with local organizations and employers to increase job training and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities in suburban areas by 25% in the next two years.

# data[].attributes.body
The first step will be to conduct a needs assessment to identify the specific job training and employment needs of individuals with disabilities in suburban areas. This will involve gathering data on current employment rates, job training programs, and employer needs, as well as conducting surveys or interviews with individuals with disabilities and key stakeholders to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Time: I will start step one on August  1st and complete step one on septamper15th.

Resources: I will need access to relevant data sources (such as census data, employment statistics, and local job training programs), as well as a survey or interview tool to gather input from individuals with disabilities and key stakeholders. I may also need to engage with local organizations and employers to gather input on their needs and capacity to provide job training and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

My second SMART Goal is to improve accessibility and accommodations for individuals with disabilities in suburban job training and employment programs by implementing at least three new accessibility accommodations, such as assistive technology or flexible work arrangements, in the next 12 months. This will increase the participation of individuals with disabilities in job training and employment programs, leading to greater inclusion and equity in suburban communities.

The second step will be to develop tailored job training and employment programs in partnership with local organizations and employers, based on the needs identified in the needs assessment conducted in step one. This may involve designing new training programs, adapting existing programs to better meet the needs of individuals with disabilities, and developing partnerships with employers to create job opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

Time: I will start step two on septamper 16th and complete step two on December 31st.

Resources: I will need to engage with local organizations and employers to develop partnerships and gather input on program design, as well as resources to develop and implement new or adapted training programs. This may include funding sources, program design expertise, and access to assistive technology or other accommodations. I may also need to hire staff or consultants with expertise in disability and employment issues to assist with program development and implementation.

Implement the tailored job training and employment programs developed in step two, and evaluate their effectiveness in increasing job training and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities in suburban areas, starting on January 1st and completing on December 31st of the following year.
Resources needed include staff or volunteers to assist with program implementation and outreach efforts, resources to promote the programs through marketing and advertising, and an evaluation plan to track program outcomes and identify areas for improvement.
