Placement Plan Meetings
Placement Plan Meeting Overview
Your client needs a Placement Plan meeting at the start of Find Phase services. This serves almost like the equivalent of an intake meeting for VRS services.
A placement plan meeting is where a GW Staff member and your client's team review responsibilities for Great Work, the job seeker, and the client’s team.
The paperwork you need to complete is the Placement Plan, the Release of Information, and the Intake Meeting Summary.
The Placement Plan document is completed at the Placement Plan Meeting. Signatures are collected from the participant, GW Staff, and VR Counselor.
Pro-tip: In the “Provider:” section, check the “CRP/LUV” box and put “Great Work in “Name of CRP/LUV:” section.
Important Information: A Placement Plan Meeting must be held before we can start job searching. One exception is if we have reached out to VRS to schedule the Placement Plan Meeting and are waiting.

Find Phase Meetings
Participants receiving Find Phase services are funded by Vocational Rehabilitation Services.
Great Work is required to lead the Placement Plan Meeting to start off the Find Phase or PBA services. This serves as the equivalent of an intake meeting for VRS services.
When a client is in the Find phase and is actively searching for a job, the VR counselor will reach out to the team requesting to meet either over video chat or in person every 60 days for a 60 Day Meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to review progress, identify & address potential barriers, amend the employment/placement plan as needed, identify new strategies, and determine if the Find phase is still the best fit for them at this time.
The VR counselor is responsible for scheduling, leading, and documenting the meeting. They will likely ask questions about how things are going and what is/isn’t going well with the job search.
The E1MN Framework
The Employment First Minnesota Framework (E1MN) is designed to help make sure that Great Work helps our participants explore employment, plan for employment, find a job, and keep a job that is a perfect fit for them! Click below to learn more about each phase:
