Florida Division of Vocational Rehabilitation

Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) is a federal-state program that helps people who have physical or mental disabilities get or keep a job. VR is committed to helping people with disabilities find meaningful careers.

Our Mission is "to help people with disabilities find and maintain employment and enhance their independence." Our Vision is "to become the first place people with disabilities turn when seeking employment and a top resource for employers in need of qualified employees."

In addition to the general customer employment program, VR has additional specific programs designed to help eligible people with disabilities become employed.

VR is now offering Job Retention Services

VR has made the decision to provide job retention services to eligible individuals, regardless of order of selection, who require specific services or equipment to keep their job. This new option was created by the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). VR discussed this service option with the state rehabilitation council, and public input was received. VR is now offering these services.

Examples of VR Services:

Medical and Psychological Assessment
Vocational Evaluation and Planning
Career Counseling and Guidance

Job Placement
Job Coaching
