Welcome to Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment
Service
Through our
Internet web site, we want to present information about the - employment
and independent
living services VR&E provides to service-connected disabled
veterans - vocational counseling to service-members and veterans who
have recently separated from active duty (hyperlink to
vocational-educational counseling page) - and vocational counseling
or special rehabilitation services to dependents of veterans who
meet certain program eligibility requirements.
The VR&E
web site is a place for
employers to work with our Rehabilitation Counselors and
Employment Specialists in recruiting, interviewing and hiring
disabled veterans who have strengthened their vocational skills
through the VR&E program. Information about - program services -
special hiring incentives and tax credits - on-the-job and
apprentice training programs in private and federal agencies -
support services and follow-through on referrals, placement and
adjustment to the job - contacting VR&E staff before, during and
after a hiring decision.
The site is
designed to help you find the VR&E program information you are
looking for quickly and easily. Links to on-line programs will help
you make an electronic application for vocational rehabilitation
services, or down-load an application form to mail to a local
VR&E office. Other links will help you see how your military
training and occupational skills relate to civilian employment. The
site will help you locate national as well as local resources for
job finding and special supportive services. Internet links that
specialize in employment in your community are available through the
VR&E Service map of local offices. VR&E partners with many
organizations and agencies that share goals of providing the best in
employment and independent living services. Links to these agencies
and organizations are provided on this site for an informative and
enriching experience.
