Employment Networks: The Supply Side of the Ticket to Work/Work Incentives Improvement Act (PL 106-170)Principal Investigators: Bruce Growick and Judith Drew Project Type: Core Research Project Year: 03 Thematic Category: Return to Work Project Summary: The purpose of this project is to explore and describe the experiences and attitudes of Employment Networks as factors in the successful implementation of PL 106-170.

The "demand" side of the law is simply the number of beneficiaries who will be interested in receiving services so that they can return to work. The "supply" side is the number of rehabilitation providers who will be equally interested in becoming Employment Networks and assisting beneficiaries in obtaining employment.
