Topic outline

 
  • The vrGenome Project addresses the need to combine good practice with good science in the vocational rehabilitation field. In its first steps, the Project combines core O*NET jobfinding capabilities with ICF classifications of function and disability. The purpose of this step is to provide a mainstream means of considering employment issues of people with disabilities. By using O*NET processes as the key driving force of the project, disability issues can be considered in the context of a persons principal preferences and abilities.

    In its secondary stage, the vrGenome Project will work to collaborate with and empower practice and research networks of professionals to help to bridge the employment gaps of individuals brought on by disability. Given opportunities as presented by O*NET and other resources within the federal/state employment community, the objective is to guide persons with disabilities and their helper networks to programs and accommodations that will maximize their employment prospects.
