Developmental Services of Northwest Kansas

Developmental Services of Northwest Kansas announced in a news release this week the United Way of Ellis County has allocated $24,563 for the DSNWK Job Placement Follow-along program for 2016.

This allocation is contingent upon The United Way reaching their campaign goal of $490,000.

Follow-along services are provided to all individuals who complete DSNWK’s Job Placement Program for support to maintain employment and for additional training in the future. Follow-along can intervene before the individual loses his or her employment and reduces the dollars spent on job procurement, training new employees, and unemployment or disability payments.

“DSNWK would like to thank the United Way of Ellis County for their continuous support of people with developmental disabilities,” said Steve Keil, DSNWK Director of Development.
