What area does the "Implement" phase of the Three-I approach focus on?

The "Implement" phase of the Three-I approach primarily focuses on collaborating with employers to reduce barriers. This phase emphasizes putting into action strategies that have been discussed and planned in the earlier stages. By working directly with employers, vocational rehabilitation professionals can facilitate necessary changes in the workplace that support the client's successful integration into their job role. This collaboration can include educating employers about the client's specific needs, advocating for necessary accommodations, and ensuring that systemic barriers to employment are addressed.

While creating accommodations directly with the client, assessing the effectiveness of initial training, and monitoring client progress in job performance are also critical components of the vocational rehabilitation process, they are aspects that typically occur either before or after the implementation phase. The core of the implementation phase centers on tangible actions and partnerships that directly empower clients in their work environments, aligning with the overall goal of improving employment outcomes.
