Overview

Mission

We provide quality services to assist individuals to achieve their goals to live and work in the community. Access to employment too, inc. Was developed to provide comprehensive community based vocational services to persons with significant barriers to employment due to disability. Our target population includes individuals who have completed special education classes and desire to work in the community, and individuals who are eligible for and seek alternatives to traditional day program services.

What it reported doing in 2015

Effective January 1, 2014, significant changes were implemented by the State of Minnesota to it's supported employment and DT&H programs which redefined and changed what had been historically reimbursable to providers of services. Access To Employment Too, Inc. struggled to adapt to the changes, as they immediately and significantly reduced its revenue. The programs operated by Access To Employment Too, Inc. closed on November 14, 2014. Clients were provided proper notice as defined by Minnesota Statute and were assisted to the best of our ability to secure services from other providers.
