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, participants sites (i.e., SVRAs) will collaborate on addressing employment challenges and barriers unique to states and territories in the Pacific Rim using culturally responsive strategies. With support from course facilitators, each site will identify key issues, develop an action plan, short-term and long-term goals, and leave with meaningful tools to promote quality employment outcomes within their program (i.e., policy development, accompanying procedural elements including training, forms, etc.). Ongoing implementation supports will be available for participating SVRAs beyond the event.
