Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation Policies & Procedures Manual

“Self-employment services are intended to support an employment outcome that is designed to maximize the individual‘s work, earnings, and financial independence… The primary role of [Office of Vocational Rehabilitation] OVR in assisting an individual with a vocational goal of self-employment is to provide support and information throughout the assessment, planning, and implementation process… The Agency has developed a statewide Cooperative Agreement with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) to provide business consultant services to VR consumers interested in self-employment. These services include assessment, training, assistance with business plan development, and follow-up.”

The Policies & Procedures Manual then goes on to define self-employment and explain the related employment process.
