Diving Into Discovery

From January 2021 through April 2022 a group of Employment Services Provider staff and Vocational Rehabilitation staff came together as Discovery Cohort B.  The group was tasked with these objectives:

  • Identify best practices
  • Identify needed revisions
  • Mini pilots of innovative strategies
  • Network with peers statewide
  • Directly inform VR practice changes/enhancements

This Cohort worked diligently to provide recommendations and develop tools for VR leadership to review.  We truly appreciate the time, expertise, and commitment of the Cohort B participants.  Over the next year, VR plans to release tools and implement updates based on the recommendations from Cohort B.  As they are released, you will be able to access the tools and resources created by Cohort B members below:
