(formerly Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission)
This webinar will introduce you to MassAbility and what opportunities this state agency can provide for individuals with disabilities. Our speaker will address: whom MassAbility serves, length of assistance, how to apply, how their services differ from DDS, how long it takes to obtain services, eligibility requirements, and how they train those who are deemed eligible.
Jeff Roberge, presenter, is the Director of Business Relations at MassAbility, where he leads efforts to strengthen employer partnerships and expand career opportunities for people with disabilities across Massachusetts. He brings more than two decades of experience in workforce development, vocational rehabilitation, and public-sector leadership.
Prior to joining MassAbility in his current role, Jeff served for seven years as Executive Director of the MassHire North Central Workforce Board, leading regional workforce initiatives and building partnerships among businesses, education, workforce organizations, and community partners. Earlier in his career, he held leadership roles with the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, now MassAbility, including West District Director and Fitchburg Area Director.
Throughout his career, Jeff has focused on bringing employers and workforce partners together to develop practical solutions that expand access to talent and create meaningful employment opportunities.
Join us as we discuss how MassAbility can help our loved ones to lead productive and satisfying lives while working toward independence and self-sufficiency.
