1. If you are interested in finding out more about eQuality we encourage you to arrange a meeting and/or tour with staff. Attending a tour in no way obligates you to choose eQuality, but allows you to compare programs and make a well-informed decision about your future. To arrange a tour, please call our office, at (763) 479-3014.

2. eQuality bills Hennepin County or Medical Assistance directly, depending on your funding source. Your Hennepin County Social Worker will authorize the service.

3. eQuality utilizes metro mobility to transport associates to and from work. Transportation during the program day, for fieldtrips, etc. is provided by agency minivans. eQuality pays for all transportation-related costs.

4. Many eQuality program associates choose to work part-time. These individuals generally work mornings and participate in recreational/educational activities during afternoons. These activities include work-outs at Northwest Athletic Club, fieldtrips, environmental education at the North Mississippi Interpretive Center, theater/acting, arts and crafts, etc.

5. eQuality Job Coordinators work with individuals to seek independent jobs. They work to develop resumes, improve interviewing skills, complete applications, and develop job-hunting strategies. After an individual succeeds in getting a job, the Job Coordinator assists with orientation, training, and ongoing support.

6. If you decide that you would like to attend eQuality you should make your County Social Worker aware of your decision. He or she will send a formal referral to eQuality, which will begin the process. eQuality staff will notify you within a few days of your acceptance to the program. Our staff will contact your interdisciplinary team to arrange an intake meeting date, and you will choose a starting date. If you are planning ahead for a June graduation, you should confirm with eQuality staff that a place will be held for you. When your graduation approaches, the intake meeting and starting date will be arranged.
