Empowering Futures Together

Supporting Transition to Employment Pathways in Oregon, known as STEP Oregon, is a five-year project running from 2024 to 2029, funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Disability Innovation Fund (DIF). The project is designed to improve employment outcomes for youth and young adults with disabilities by creating more equitable, coordinated, and sustainable systems that connect education, workforce development, and community-based services.

Our Project

STEP is a transformative five-year initiative aiming to boost job prospects for young individuals with disabilities.

Focus Areas

We focus on creating equitable systems that connect education, training, and job opportunities for youth and young adults with disabilities, ensuring sustainable outcomes.

Community Involvement

Community involvement is key, our work with employers and community agencies across Oregon allows us to acheive equitable outcomes for stakeholders. Community-based organizations participating in our program allow us to ensure youth with disabilites receive top-tier services and supports.

Training Programs

We offer specialized training programs to K12 staff, employers, and families, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to effectively integrate individuals with developmental disabilities into the workforce.
