Accessing Supported Employment
The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) is typically the starting point for supported employment. A DVR counselor works with the job seeker or prospective entrepreneur to decide on a career direction and creates a plan to cover the initial, intensive job-finding and coaching supports. From there, on-going needs are addressed through a variety of approaches meeting the needs of the person.
Supported Employment Provider Requirements
