Teens and young adults with disabilities nearing high school graduation can sign up for the Bureau of Rehabilitation Services' (BRS) School-to-Work Transition program to develop the work and personal skills they need to be successful in a job. The goal of the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Program is to assist individuals with significant physical and mental disabilities to prepare for, obtain and maintain employment.
