    Unlocking Opportunities: Employment, Job Training, and ACCESS-VR Services

    Join us for a dynamic webinar on the critical intersection of disability, job training, employment, and ACCESS-VR services.
    Everyone deserves access to meaningful employment and the opportunity to excel in their chosen careers. This webinar will discuss the nuances of seeking employment with a disability, including distinctions between competitive employment, supported employment, and customized employment. We'll share strategies for identifying suitable job training programs, acquiring vocational skills, job accommodations and enhancing overall job readiness.

    ACCESS-VR, short for "Adult Career and Continuing Education Services — Vocational Rehabilitation," is a NYS agency dedicated to assisting individuals with disabilities in exploring their job interests, finding employment, and maintaining it. We will delve into how to apply for ACCESS-VR services and what to expect.
