OVR counselors to hold outreach in Susupe
Office of Vocational Rehabilitation counselors will be conducting an outreach session at the House of Manhoben, located behind the cemetery next to Susupe Chapel on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015, from 9am to 11am.
Individuals interested in applying for vocational rehabilitation services are encouraged to take advantage of this outreach activity. Normally, orientation and intake/application are conducted at the OVR office on Navy Hill on Tuesday at 9am. However, in an effort to increase its referral numbers, OVR is reaching out to unserved or underserved populations.
An applicant is eligible for vocational rehabilitation services if the individual: 1) has a disability; 2) has a physical or mental impairment which for that individual constitutes or results in a substantial impediment to employment; and can benefit in terms of an employment outcome from vocational rehabilitation services; 3) requires vocational rehabilitation services to prepare for, secure, or retain employment; and 4) has legal status to allow employment in the CNMI or United States.
OVR extends its appreciation to the Ayuda Network for coordinating and making the outreach possible.
