Vocational Rehabilitation Service - Edward Hines Junior VA Hospital
VHA Vocational Rehabilitation Service (VR) is a program designed to support Veterans in finding and keeping employment within their community.
VR is made up of three programs:
Supported Employment (SE): SE is the highest level of care within VR. SE is an individualized, long-term program to help Veterans find and keep a permanent job within their community. SE is structured to support Veterans who struggle with barriers related to mental illness or severe disabilities such as psychosis, brain injury, spinal cord injury, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Veterans with other chronic and/or serious conditions may request SE if they require long-term employment supports.
Transitional Work (TW): TW is a time-limited program that allows Veterans to gain work experience for up to six months while working to find a permanent job. Veterans who do not meet criteria for SE may be more appropriate for TW. TW is for Veterans with limited or unstable work histories due to disability, mental health conditions, homelessness, or substance abuse.
Community-Based Employment Services (CBES): CBES is an individualized, short-term program to help Veterans find a permanent job within their community. CBES is structured for Veterans who do not meet the criteria for SE or TW, but who are currently unemployed or underemployed, and need help in securing employment.
