What is the role of the RVR-CES and how can we assist schools?
We work in partnership with ACCES-VR to:
Support school districts to understand the ACCES-VR process and the availability of community supports
Provide information to schools to better prepare students for post-secondary options in living, learning and earning
Assist in improving post-secondary outcomes for students through information, communication and collaboration

Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA)
Increased VR role in transition:
Each state’s public Vocational Rehabilitation program will now have a much larger role in the transition from school to adult life. Under WIOA, 15% of public VR funds must now be used for transition services, specifically pre-employment transition services as defined within the act. These services include job exploration counseling, work based learning experiences, counseling on post-secondary opportunities, workplace readiness training, and training on self-advocacy. Other services are also allowed if funds are available.
