Supported Employment for people with disabilities
Some individuals may need supports in order to be successfully employed and/ or prepare for a career. This can range from working with a job developer, participating in a short term internship, having a job coach, or working in a highly supervised employment setting.
DVR
The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) supports individuals with disabilities with getting and keeping a job. Here you can learn more about DVR services and apply online.
