Vocational Rehab Jobs Will Be Cut in H.H.

“Concord — A New Hampshire agency that helps people with disabilities find jobs soon will be downsized, after education officials identified a looming shortfall within the group’s budget.

About 20 jobs will be cut from the state Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation in an attempt to stabilize finances for the organization, which provides job coaching and educational opportunities, and also pairs disabled people with employers in the Granite State, Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut announced last week.

Nonetheless, officials are working to continue many of those services, even with fewer staff, Edelblut said in a phone interview on Monday. They intend to partner with community organizations and area nonprofits to help fill the void, he said.”
