Description

In the second episode of Job Match Makers, Brian and Sherry are joined by their Minnesota Transformation Initiative colleague, Don Lavin. Don explains how he left his cousin Vinny behind in New Jersey to begin his career in employment services for people with disabilities in Minnesota over a half century ago. He also describes how the field has changed since he started his first rehabilitation counseling job in 1973 (one week after the passing of the Rehabilitation Act, no less). Don reaches into his vault of memories to share one of his favorite employment stories from his decades of promoting customized employment.
