The Vocational Rehabilitation Technical Assistance Center for Quality Employment (VRTAC-QE; www.tacqe.com), funded by the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA; H264K200003), works closely with state vocational rehabilitation agencies (SVRA) to build capacity for improved collaboration, VR service delivery, and quality employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities.

Through this workshop, participant sites in the U.S. Territories (American Samoa, Guam, and CNMI) will continue their collaboration in addressing employment challenges and barriers unique to territories in the Pacific Rim using culturally responsive strategies. With support from course facilitators, each site will continue working on and sharing progress updates based on their short-term and long-term goals to improve quality employment outcomes within their program (i.e., policy development, accompanying procedural elements including training, forms, etc.).
