The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) is a statewide resource that assists people with disabilities to prepare for, secure, maintain, advance in, or regain employment. DVR partners with businesses and organizations to develop employment opportunities. We serve people who seek meaningful and secure employment, but whose disabilities may result in one or more barriers to achieving employment goals.
