The Oregon Supported Employment Manual (SEM) provides a structured and regulatory-aligned framework for delivering employment services to individuals with disabilities, promoting competitive integrated employment across all settings. Grounded in Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR 582-072), WIOA Section 511, and aligned with the Ticket to Work and Employment First initiatives, this manual ensures that services are delivered in compliance with federal and state employment support mandates.
The manual outlines essential policies and procedures for provider enrollment, program operations, job development, placement stabilization, and service planning. It defines clear timelines, benchmarks, and documentation requirements to support successful transitions to and retention in integrated employment. The manual also promotes the principles of person-centered planning, discovery-based job matching, and benefits counseling, helping individuals make informed decisions about work and financial independence.
Key components include requirements for staff certification, vocational assessments, case management, workplace safety, performance measurement, and incident reporting. Additionally, it emphasizes collaboration with Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies, community partners, and employers, ensuring wraparound supports that meet each participant’s individual needs.
Designed for use by service providers, job coaches, employment specialists, case managers, and regulatory oversight agencies, the SEM supports Oregon’s commitment to empowering individuals with disabilities through meaningful employment, full inclusion, and long-term career growth opportunities.
