WEST ORANGE, NJ, Jan 24, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Kessler Foundation awarded a $350,000 Signature Employment Grant to the Brain Injury Association of Florida, Inc. (BIAF) to advance employment opportunities for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). This is the first year that eligibility for the signature grants expanded from N.J. to organizations across the U.S. This Signature Grant is part of more than $2.7 million in grants awarded by the Foundation in 2011 to benefit people with disabilities.
The grant will support the statewide Project RESULTS (Realistic Employment Strategies, Ultimate Long Term Success). Project RESULTS has a record of markedly improving employment rates for individuals with TBI. Previous pilot programs boosted employment from 19.5 percent to 77 percent.
This Signature Grant will help leverage the initial gains into lasting results. Partners include Florida's Department of Vocational Rehabilitation and the Department of Health, as well as workforce innovation agencies and veterans' services like Army OneSource.
