Employment resources for persons served

All people have the right to work at jobs that pay minimum wage or more, provide opportunities for raises and advancement, and have people with and without disabilities working together. This is called Competitive Integrated Employment or CIE. TCRC and our community workforce partners can support people to obtain CIE through full or part time employment, self employment, or contract jobs and skilled work. Community and TCRC funded employment services can be authorized through the planning team process for individuals who choose to work.

What is self determination?

Self Determination was developed as a voluntary alternative to the traditional way of providing regional center services and is intended to offer people more freedom and control over how their services are provided and more freedom and control in who supports them. Self Determination is having a choice in all areas of your life including where you want to live, how you will spend your time each day and who you will spend your time with. It’s about having hopes and dreams for the future and developing goals to go after them. It’s about being in control, making your own decisions, spending money your way.
