The Mississippi Partnerships for Employment (MSPE) project has a vision that all young people, including those with developmental and intellectual disabilities, have an opportunity for competitive, meaningful employment and productive lives as citizens of Mississippi. The public is welcome to attend an awareness session to review MSPE activities in the state with a focus on Employment First. Employment First is a philosophy/policy which requires all entities that provide services to individuals with disabilities of working age to ensure that competitive employment in integrated settings is always the first priority option considered in providing services. The awareness session, the first of four across the state, will be held on June 20, at 5:30 p.m. in Churchill I and II at the Marriott Jackson at 200 East Amite Street in Jackson.
Three additional awareness sessions will be held across the state in July:
· Greenville - July 9 - William Alexander Percy Memorial Library, 341 Main Street - 5:30–6:30 p.m.
· Long Beach - July 16 - Technology Learning Center on The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Park campus, 730 East Beach Boulevard – 5:30-6:30 p.m.
· Starkville - July 23 - Greater Starkville Development Partnership offices, 203 East Main Street – 5:30-6:30 p.m.
