Exploring the Modern Workplace with Vocational Rehabilitation

  • MRC collaborates with public colleges and universities, professional training programs, and employers statewide, to partner with people with disabilities to expand what’s possible in their career and work life.
  • VR counselors work to offer you counseling and guidance, job-driven training and skills training, aptitude testing, job placement assistance, college or vocational training, assistive technology, financial wellness, employer consultation, and so much more.
