Coordinated Career Pathways (CCP)
Building Inclusive Employment for Westside Regional Center Clients

Overview: What CCP Is and How It Works

Coordinated Career Pathways (CCP) is a Regional Center employment service designed to
support adults served by Westside Regional Center who want to work but may be unsure of next
steps.

Through personalized coaching and employer partnerships, CCP helps participants explore
employment options, build real world skills, and move toward meaningful, paid jobs in the
community. The focus is on early planning, clear next steps, and long-term employment success.

Premiere Living Services is vendored under Service Code 956 to deliver CCP in compliance
with Title 17. PLS provides coaching and coordination services only and is not the employer of
record for participants.

clarity, consistency, and timely follow through.

PLS partners with Service Coordinators to:

• Receive and confirm authorizations under Service Code 956

• Provide clear, documented progress updates at each stage
• Maintain Title 17 documentation standards and transparent communication
