The State Rehabilitation Council works in partnership with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services to maximize opportunities for employment and independence for North Carolinians with disabilities. The council also provides a formal mechanism for consumers and stakeholders to influence the state’s vocational rehabilitation (VR) program and policies by hosting public forums and listening sessions.
Current and former VR consumers, family members, VR staff, employers and other stakeholders are invited to share feedback with the council at events held around the state each year. Held quarterly, these public forums provide an opportunity to voice your concerns, questions, success stories, resources and suggestions for improvement.
Please join us to discuss what VR can do to help people with disabilities find and keep jobs. Share your success stories, concerns, questions, resources and suggestions for improvement.
Sign language interpreters will be available. To request other accommodations, email kim.schmidt@dhhs.nc.gov or call 919-855-3533 by March 16, 2020.
