Understanding Workforce Services for Iowans with Disabilities
Iowans with disabilities make up a significant and often underestimated portion of our state’s talent pool. Ensuring they have access to meaningful employment opportunities not only strengthens their own individual independence, but it also drives new growth across Iowa’s economy.
A new series of town halls aims to help various stakeholders and the public better understand the full range of services that are making a difference for this critical area of the workforce.
The VR Town Hall Series will feature updates from both Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VR) and the Iowa Department of the Blind, who together partner on the many programs that together improve disability employment across the state. Each town hall will focus on a specific program area.
The first town hall (Pre-ETS) will be held on Tuesday, March 24, from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm. Please join the Zoom meeting here.
