Ticket To Work Kick Off
On April 27, 2010 CHN Employment kicked-off its very first Ticket to Work event for our tenants. The Ticket to Work and the Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 was designed to ensure that Social Security beneficiaries with disabilities receive the services needed to obtain and maintain gainful employment. The Act makes it possible for working SSI or SSDI beneficiaries earning more revenue to keep medical coverage if needed. Working beneficiaries expand earnings potential, and forgo annual review of disability status.
The CHN Employment Team is proud to be an Employment Network and to begin helping our clients take that step to meaningful employment. During the kick-off we had over 48 tenants in attendance, along with six employers from various agencies enjoying a pizza lunch and learning about Ticket to Work. The CHN Employment team has already begun the follow-up process to ensure that this event and program continues to be a success not only for our agency, but for the lives of our tenants.

Haven't Found Your Money Tree Yet?
Having commitment to a process is an important element to consider when getting your job search together, but in order to maintain a productive search you must also be able to evaluate your methods and consider new approaches. This is where the CHN Employment Center Staff are particularly helpful. Sometimes another person's help and perspective is needed to help us see what is missing or not working well for us. It is when we share our plans with other that we can begin to accept their assistance. Review your commitment to your career this season by contacting our office and telling us about your career goals. Perhaps our team can help tune up your job search and you'll begin to recognize where the money trees are in bloom.
