Both are enrolled in the Senior Community Service Employment Program, a federal program funded through the Older Americans Act.
We provide placement services to people with disabilities who are referred by Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Counselors in Indiana and in Kentucky. Services are available based on individual’s needs and as scheduled with Goodwill Employment Specialists.
If you have a disability and you are not already working with VR, call us today and we will introduce you to the VR office nearest you. Once you apply for VR services, and are found eligible, you can request a referral to Goodwill for services. There are no fees for clients using Goodwill services through VR*.
