North Carolina’s public vocational rehabilitation (VR) programs help people with disabilities achieve their goals for competitive employment and careers.
If you have a disability and want to find a job, keep working or advance professionally, they can help you chart your path to a career with a future in North Carolina. Eligible consumers will partner with a counselor to develop an individualized plan for employment that can include counseling, education, training, job placement assistance, assistive technology and many other services. There is no cost to apply or to find out if you are eligible for services and we provide services statewide through two partner divisions:
- The Division of Services for the Blind (DSB) helps people who are visually impaired, blind and deafblind reach their goals of independence and employment. Through a network of local offices, DSB provides individualized, person-centered services statewide. For more information, contact the district office near you.
- If you have a disability that prevents you from finding, keeping or advancing in competitive employment, the Division of Employment and Independence for People with Disabilities (EIPD) can help you achieve your career goals. Find a local office near you or call 1-800-215-7227 for a referral.
