After all-encompassing and constant change brought about by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)since 2014, it seems that we are finally surfacing for air. The federal government, and subsequently Nevada state government, asked a lot of vocational rehabilitation staff and partners, council and administration, as implementation of the mandates and vision in WIOA are realized. Now the vocational rehabilitation (VR) program finds itself with new policies, new work performance standards, new contractual agreements, and a new philosophy on the provision of services to individuals with disabilities in Nevada.We have found ourselves leading the nation in WIOA-driven systems change, including with the carefully considered, collaborative state and local education agreements executed with BVR, which outline our partnerships in the delivery of Pre-Employment Transition Services to students with disabilities. We are leaders with our new rehabilitation counselor classification series, which now allows for a larger applicant talent pool for recruitments, while maintaining the integrity and expertise of the counselor series at higher levels. We continue to lead the nation in reworking our work performance standards for counselors so they reflect the true intent of WIOA, which is to create quality, sustainable jobs for our consumers in the new Nevada economy. We were one of the first states to work with business partners in creating on-the-job work readiness programs embedded in those businesses. Nevada was the first to create such a program with Starbucks, and led the nation by taking that program into Starbucks’ retail establishments.Nevada experienced a 25 percent growth in the number of transition-aged students served in the BVR program last year. We also experienced an increase in our population of individuals with the most significant disabilities. The number of these individuals served by BVR grew by 7.4 percent last year. As WIOA intended, vocational rehabilitation programs nationwide, including Nevada’s, are serving these most vulnerable populations in order to prepare them for quality work and improved quality of life and self-sufficiency.We have been collaborative, innovative and strategic. Some examples are our summer camps for students and youth, the Pathway to Work program with Opportunity Village, self-advocacy curriculum for students, and collaborative work with the Division of Public and Behavioral Health for long term supports. Another example is the work with the Aging and Disability Services Division and the Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities to move forward the Integrated Employment Taskforce’s Strategic Plan, which was born out of Governor Sandoval’s Executive Order 2014-16. Additionally, our business development team’s drive and initiative netted a collaboration with local colleges to deliver soft skills curriculum for our consumers. Our Blind Business Enterprise of Nevada (BEN) program has been an innovative partner for example, providing Community Based Assessments for BVR consumers in BEN sites.We have been providing quality training for our staff to ensure they have the expertise and a 21st century understanding of workforce and the distinct needs of individuals with disabilities in the workforce. BVR staff members have been fluid and flexible with all of the changes they have experienced in the last three years due to WIOA. They have maintained their determination, and held tightly to the mission of the agency of always ensuring individuals with disabilities in Nevada have access to opportunities for competitive, integrated employment and self-sufficiency. I am proud of their accomplishments and honored to serve them.60000542290184150054229018415004044950965835“Every human being has talents that are just waiting to be uncovered.”-Tom Rath, Strengths Finder 2.000“Every human being has talents that are just waiting to be uncovered.”-Tom Rath, Strengths Finder 2.0679450603885Letter From theChairmanErnest J.

For state fiscal years 2018 and 2019, Nevada VR was budgeted an additional $600,000 each year in federal grant funds based upon the non-federal sources of match VR is projected to earn from its Third Party Cooperative Arrangements (TPCAs) by way of partner “effort” or certified time, and overmatch. VR was budgeted and approved for three new full time positions, including a statewide Transition Coordinator, a Rehabilitation Counselor III for its TPCA with Truckee Meadows Community College, and a Training Officer II to provide staff trainings statewide on such subjects as informed choice, customized employment and quality employment placements. VR’s new Transition Coordinator will oversee the delivery of Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) to students with disabilities statewide, and will supervise a team of two contractors, and a third that may be added to cover rural Nevada. VR leadership brought forth three bill drafts, all of which passed into law. AB20 included a variety of changes to the statutes that dictate the VR programs (Nevada Revised Statutes 426 and 615), including adding the new goal of “competitive integrated employment;” removing authority for VR to operate sheltered workshops; removing independent living services and honing its focus on vocational services and employment outcomes; correcting offensive terminology; and making changes for consistency between VR’s two bureaus and their statutes. 00The Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program had a successful 2017 biennial legislative session.

The Preferred Purchase Program allows government entities to contract for goods and services from non-profit organizations in which 75 percent of their billable labor is performed by people with disabilities. Under these circumstances, the Preferred Purchase Program is granted exception to the competitive bid process. This program is the state’s version of the federal, “Ability One.” Moving it from VR removed the conflict of interest that VR had with these often segregated jobs.

This bill made consideration of job applicants on the state’s 700-Hour recruitment lists a mandatory step in the recruitment process for all state agencies.

Individuals on 700-Hour recruitment lists are equally qualified for state jobs, with or without reasonable accommodations. Hiring authorities must now consider candidates on these lists prior to other recruitment lists. AB192 also requires that each hiring authority shall ensure that there is at least one person on the staff who has training concerning the unique challenges a person with a disability faces in the workplace.

Erlinda became depressed and discontent with life after being unemployed for seven years, because she knew, despite her disability, she was capable of holding down a job. In addition to her visual impairment, Erlinda was diagnosed with a severe to profound intellectual disability with social anxiety, and a communication disorder. However, Sierra Regional Center referred her to BVR because of her determination to go back to work.Erlinda’s BVR counselor discovered through observations and discussions with her mother that she was interested in sorting and organizing items. BVR paid for Erlinda to undergo a work-hardening program and work-based learning experience through Goodwill Industries, which led to her current employment. Erlinda works at Goodwill pulling and sorting clothing items according to sizes and colors. She is performing her essential job functions at 100 percent accuracy. Her speed level is at 90 percent compared to her counterparts. She has overcome her limitations with strategies and works with minimal supports. For instance, Erlinda can differentiate between brown and black tags by the reflection or shininess of the tag.Erlinda looks forward to working Monday through Wednesday and is recognized as an invaluable employee by her colleagues because of her work ethic and dedication to her job. Additionally, she is improving in her conversational dialogue and is changing her verbiage from single words or phrases to the formulation of complete sentences. This goal for employment was achieved through the collaborative effort of a multi-faceted team of individuals composed of BVR, Sierra Regional Center, Goodwill Industries, Voyager, Erlinda, and her family. BVR assisted her by providing job development/placement services and job coaching. Voyager is providing extended coaching with assistance from Sierra Regional Center.190000000010058400SUCCCESSSTORIES00SUCCCESSSTORIESShamica Burnett did not let her disability of being deaf stop her from reaching her goal of obtaining training as a guest room attendant which eventually landed her part-time employment.
