 Through the Vocational Rehabilitation Program, a Paralyzed Veterans of America vocational rehabilitation counselor located in a Department of Veterans Affairs' Spinal Cord Injury Center will:
- Meet with veterans to discuss and explore their future career options as early as possible in their medical rehabilitation.
- Work with medical personnel to begin discussions about employment expectations as veterans are working to achieve their medical rehabilitation goals.
- Serve as the “hub” or coordinator for the various vocational rehabilitation resources in the federal, state, and private arenas.
- Inform veterans of the benefit programs available to them and when appropriate assist them to apply for programs such as Social Security, State-Vocational Rehabilitation Programs, and community-based programs.
- Develop a network of employers who are willing to train/provide career jobs for veterans.
