Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the Vocational Rehabilitation Department. We’re here for one very simple, yet critical purposeâ??to bring our state’s people with disabilities and employers together.

When we succeed, everyone benefits. People with disabilities get a chance to use their considerable skills to earn a living; their employers tap a great resource that has too often been overlooked; and the public at large can take satisfaction in knowing that these new employees become taxpayers themselves and often end their reliance on disability benefits.

We are committed to providing the services that give our customers the very best chance to reach their employment goals.

Those goals can’t be reached without solid partnerships with business and industry, with our fellow agencies, and with referral sources.

It is critical to foster involvement from our business leaders, and we are thrilled that so many leading organizations have become part of our Business Partnership Network. The growth and influence of this network will go a long way in improving opportunities for our citizens with disabilities and in improving the talent pool available to Palmetto State employers.

Please explore our website. You will see an agency that is committed to making the most of our resources and making a difference in the lives of our customers.

Larry C. Bryant, Commissioner
