Promoting Partnerships and Employment for Virginians with Disabilities
The Virginia Board for People with Disabilities has awarded the Virginia Commonwealth University Rehabilitation Research & Training Center on Workplace Supports and Job Retention a two year grant to develop and implement an initiative promoting public - private partnerships in order to increase employment in state government agencies for people with disabilities. This state initiative will provide training and resources to state approved staffing agencies, state hiring managers, community rehabilitation programs, and staff with the state rehabilitation agencies on the benefits of recruiting and hiring people with disabilities. The program will provide training opportunities and develop a system of recruitment of people with disabilities for the state approved staffing vendors by designing a referral and follow-up tracking system between the staffing companies, as well as community rehabilitation programs and agencies working with candidates who are seeking employment. The grant initiative began on January 1, 2007. See more information on the Promoting Partnerships and Employment for Virginians with Disabilities initiative.
