What is a State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency, and how can they help me?

It’s an agency that can help an employer by offering on

-the-job training for qualified individuals with employment barriers.

They assist individuals who experience barriers to employment

through a range of education and training services.

All of the above

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.

While this resource is not used in everycase, On-the-Job-Training (OJT) isprovided by many State VocationalRehabilitation Agencies as a means ofgiving 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.

Good answer…

There’s a better answer, please try again!

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.

This is correct, but there’s still more…
