Who is Vocational Rehabilitation?

Vocational Rehabilitation (Voc Rehab) is a federal-state program that helps people who have physical or mental disabilities get or keep a job. Voc Rehab offers access to obtaining these services by partnering with vendors (such as employU) who facilitate the services requested.

Though Voc Rehab partners with employU, Voc Rehab and employU are two separate organizations. Voc Rehab provides the funding to offer both the Promising People virtual reality training and employU job placement and coaching services so that you can participate in them at no cost to you. This is why you must apply and qualify for Voc Rehab before being able to participate in the program. employU will assist you through the Voc Rehab application process to facilitate a seamless transition. 

Once Voc Rehab processes your application for services, a Voc Rehab counselor will arrange a meeting with you to discuss services. When it’s time to meet with your Voc Rehab counselor be sure to request the Promising People and employU partnership program!
