Nebraska DOE: VR and Project SEARCH

“Nebraska VR works with schools and other organizations across the state to help students plan for the future and prepare for careers that match their skills, abilities, and interests.
To meet the employment needs of students with disabilities, Nebraska VR provides pre-employment transition services which include:

• Job Exploration Counseling
• Workplace Readiness Training
• Work-Based Learning Experiences
• Counseling on Comprehensive Transition or Post-Secondary Educational Programs
• Instruction in Self-Advocacy

In Nebraska every high school has an assigned Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) counselor who can help students who have an identified disability to gain skills, find a job and start a career. They work with school staff to assess interests and strengths, explore careers and post-secondary training options, among many other individualized services.”
