Vocational Rehabilitation Workforce Studio » Podcast
Summary: The VR Workforce Studio is a podcast rooted in the State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Program in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The core mission and purpose of the VR Workforce Studio is to offer important compelling information and stories for Individuals with disabilities (IWD) who are "in" or "preparing to be part of" the workforce in Virginia as well as employers and the staff who help IWD become employed. The show is produced at WWRC, a comprehensive vocational rehabilitation center that serves over 300 IWD on any given day helping them prepare for employment. The Center is one of only seven such facilities in the United States and has been in operation since 1947 offering both comprehensive medical rehabilitation as well as vocational assessments, transition and jobs-driven training. In addition to the extensive array of IWD at WWRC, the Center's parent agency, The Department for Again and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) serves upwards of 20,000 consumers at any given time who also hope to go to work and demonstrate the value that IWD bring to the workplace. This exceptional array of consumers, employers and professionals working together provide an ongoing and unparalleled plethora of stories, interviews, strategies and opportunities listeners will find both informative and educational. VR Workforce Studio listeners can expect to hear WWRC chronicle the journeys and triumphs of IWD while spotlighting employers who hire them
