New VR Townhall Series: Understanding Workforce Services for Iowans with Disabilities

Iowans with disabilities make up a significant and often underestimated portion of our state's talent pool. Ensuring they have access to meaningful employment opportunities not only strengthens their own individual independence, but it also drives new growth across Iowa's economy.

A new series of townhalls aims to help various stakeholders and the public better understand the full range of services that are making a difference for this critical area of the workforce.

The VR Townhall series will feature updates from both Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services and the Iowa Department of the Blind, who together partner on the many programs that together improve disability employment across the state. Each townhall will focus on a specific program area.
