Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VRS) and State Services for the Blind (SSB) counselors help people with disabilities who have barriers to employment find jobs.
Vocational rehabilitation counselors are responsible for helping the person identify their work goals, providing the information a person needs to make informed choices about work, and making connections with resources and services the person needs to find and keep a job.
To work as an effective team supporting people on waivers, VRS/SSB staff need to fulfill a number of important responsibilities.
