San Diego State University has been awarded a $16.5 million federal grant to lead the new, 5-year VRTAC QM consortium, keeping the university at the forefront of improving employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
The U.S. Department of Education Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) will provide the funding over five years to support a new center, housed in SDSU’s Interwork Institute, that will provide quality management to the 78 public vocational rehabilitation agencies nationwide that connect people with disabilities to career resources.
Partners include George Washington University, Cornell University, the National Disability Institute, the Council of State Administrators for Vocational Rehabilitation, SaraWorks, and others.
