Who are "we"? Officially, we're the Indiana VR Training and Technical Assistance Team from the Center on Community Living and Careers at Indiana University. We work throughout the state with employment providers who've been selected by Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services to receive implementation supports. By supporting all of you, we learn what's working, what's challenging, and what we can share with providers throughout the state. 


If you provide, receive, or have an interest in employment services, we're glad to have you here! No secret special handshake or password needed. Read, learn, and share. That's what this is all about.
