Vocational Rehabilitation Services
The Texas Workforce Commission's Vocational Rehabilitation Services (formerly the Department of Assistive Rehabilitation Services, or DARS) is a State funded program that assists individuals with disabilities in obtaining employment.
People with disabilities represent the third largest market segment in the U.S., so counting individuals with disabilities among employees can help businesses better understand and meet the needs of this expanding customer base.
Mark your calendars on April 20th for the Ninth Annual Transition Job Fair.
