OVR counselors conduct outreach in Susupe
Office of Vocational Rehabilitation counselors will be conducting outreach at the House of Manhoben located behind the cemetery next to Susupe Chapel on Saturday, Nov. 29, 2014, from 9am to 11:30am. Individuals interested in applying for vocational rehabilitation services are encouraged to take advantage of this outreach.
An applicant is eligible for vocational rehabilitation services if the individual: 1) is an individual with a disability, and; 2) has a physical or mental impairment which for such individual constitutes or results in a substantial impediment to employment; and can benefit in terms of an employment outcome from vocational rehabilitation services, and; 3) requires vocational rehabilitation services to prepare for, secure, or retain employment; and 4) has legal status to allow employment in the CNMI or U.S.
OVR extends its appreciation to Ayuda Network for coordinating and making the outreach possible.
