The mission of VHA Vocational Rehabilitation is to promote recovery for Veterans living with mental illness or physical impairment, with barriers to employment, who want to secure and maintain meaningful community-based competitive employment that fosters self-esteem, dignity, respect, and independence through high-quality vocational rehabilitation services.

  • Transitional Work provides work restoration services in actual work settings by matching veterans’ skills and interest with a specific job, providing vocational supports and resources needed for a veteran to successfully transition to competitive employment.
  • Supported Employment provides long-term support for Veterans with serious mental illnesses or physical disabilities to help them compete for jobs in their communities.  Supported employment offers a full range of vocational services, including but not limited to, ongoing vocational assessments, benefits counseling, rapid/individualized job search, job development and placement, assertive engagement, and follow-along supports.
  • Supported Education assists Veterans with developing an education goal, connecting with schools, and training programs of interest to the veteran to gather relevant information, providing information on resources for funding for education/training, and direct assistance for applying and enrolling in school as well as maintaining matriculation.
  • Community Based Employment Services provides individual support based on the Veteran’s strengths, needs, and abilities. The goal is direct placement in competitive employment to build a career. This service is provided to Veterans who have a history of sporadic employment, difficulty with job searching, difficulty maintaining a job or are unable to obtain employment independently but would like to work in the community.
  • Supported Self Employment helps veterans with achieving successful self-employment consistent with their career goals by providing them with the specific knowledge and skills necessary for self-employment, peer support from those whose have achieved self-employment success, and connections with funding sources which can assist with the enterprise.
  • Vocational Assistance offers vocational counseling services to include, but not limited to, resume or job seeking skills assistance, interest or aptitude testing, interviewing practice, counseling to develop skills to obtain or maintain employment, and referrals to community resources.
