What is a State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency,
and how can they help me?
Its an agency that can help an employer by
offering on -the-job training for qualified
individuals with employment barriers.
They can provide a Job Coach to assist
qualified job seekers or employees with
employment barriers in overcoming those barriers
to be effective on the job.
They assist individuals who experience barriers
to employment through a range of education and
training services.
All of the above

Good answer

• While this resource is not used in every
• case, On-the-Job-Training (OJT) is
• provided by many State Vocational
• Rehabilitation Agencies as a means of
• giving a job seeker with a disability
• practical experience on a job (in a paid
• position that is covered for the trial OJT
• period by the VR agency) without putting
• an extra expense on the employer.

This is correct, but theres still more

• A State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency can pay
• the wages of a "coach/trainer" to help
  individuals
• who learn best one-on -one and may require the
• development of some accommodation strategies.
• The employer advises the job coach about the
• job standards and then the job coach helps to
• train the employee. As the worker learns the job
• tasks, the coach's involvement gradually fades,
• but is available for follow up.
• The intent is to reduce the amount of time an
• employer will spend training a qualified
  candidate
• with an employment barrier, who might take
• longer to learn the required job tasks.

CORRECT!

• You got it! Individuals with disabilities can
  get help from State
• Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies for assistance
  in returning to
• work. This can be through access to education and
  training, job
• coaching, on the job training, and other
  necessary supports.
• Employers benefit by gaining access to a new
  source of talent
• interested in being recruited to fill current
  employer needs.

  Rehabilitation Agencies,
