With funding available through the Rehabilitation Services Administration’s Disability Innovation Fund, the Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency is implementing a five-year project that will provide participating Georgia middle schoolers with training and skills for obtaining competitive integrated employment after their educational journeys end.

The project incorporates important partnerships between GVRA, the Georgia Department of Education, local school districts, nine Georgia-based centers for independent living, and other entities to ensure student success and positive employment outcomes.

GVRA will work with the nine centers for independent living scattered across the state to coordinate programming in local school districts.  Important project updates and milestones will be shared on this page, as well as links to websites for our strategic partners.
