We’ll also cover the current landscape and the efforts being made for fairer wages today. \nApril 8: Provider Experience Panel \nLearn about how disability service providers in Minnesota are moving away from subminimum wage pay. Providers from across the state will explain their experiences.

SUMMARY:People Planning Together: Train the Trainer Q & A for People with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:People Planning Together: Train the Trainer Q & A \nPeople Planning Together\, also called PPT\, is a training for people with disabilities. It is taught by two people; one who has a disability\, and one who does not. The class helps people identify what is meaningful to them and what they want in their lives. Through activities and discussion\, people in the class get a deeper understanding of what is important to them and for them. They use this information to develop a plan with meaningful outcomes for their life. \nLead trainers are people with disabilities. They should have an interest in sharing their life in front of a group. Co-trainers support the lead trainers. \nPPT is a 16 hour train the trainer course that will be offered later this year. To learn more about the training\, join us at a Question and Answer Session on February 20th or 25th. \nRegister here for the February 25th Q & A for People with Disabilities  \nOR \nClick here for information about the Q & A for providers on February 20th.
