Participants work with a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) to develop a business plan that the VA evaluates for viability. The program also offers additional VR&E employment programs, including hands-on work experiences, special incentives for employers, and access to employment coordinators. Eligibility extends to those with service-connected disabilities impacting their ability to secure or maintain suitable employment.
