Division of Vocational Rehabilitation
(DVR)
DVR contracts with agencies such as ENSO to provide employment services to individuals with disabilities. If you have a disability and are interested in employment or training for a job it can be to your advantage to go through DVR’s intake process. DVR will want to get to know you so services can be tailored to your interests, skills, and abilities. Resources through DVR are time-limited and designed to help you get a job and support you for the first three months you are working. If further support is needed DVR can look at other funding sources you may qualify for.
