Summary of Changes

Policy: Added 

All prospective applicants to the VR Employment Program shall be offered Orientation, Initial Meeting, and Information and Referral to other agencies. This regulation includes students referred from the VR PreETS program, as they also need full consultation to apply.

Safety. Staff and community safety are a top priority. If a question of ability to benefit from services stems from safety concerns, immediately discuss with your office director and refer to the Violent and Disruptive Behavior Chapter

Process:

Added:

• Added information to emphasis informed choice in the application process. 
• Completion of I&R whether the referral applies or not.
• Initial Meeting task notes: If topic is not applicable, best practice is to state "NA" rather than not addressing the topic. 
• Removed TWE reference and application process.
• Added next step of determining eligibility/ineligibility, as a reminder of the options.
