Product Description:

Effectively integrating provisions of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) into public Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) systems will require extensive effort at both the organizational and system levels. This article presents information on WIOA provisions, enacted in July of 2014, that impact public VR systems plus rationale, strategies and tools for implementing these provisions in a manner that promotes quality and sustainability. Both ideal implementation methods and pragmatic methods are presented based on the experience of one states efforts to incorporate customized employment strategies into its VR system to benefit customers who have not been successful at achieving a competitive, integrated employment outcome through traditional VR strategies.
