The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services has awarded a $16,364,501 Formula Grant under the Rehabilitation Services Vocational Rehabilitation Grants to States program (CFDA 84.126) to the Maine Department of Labor's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. This one-year grant, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, will support the division's comprehensive vocational rehabilitation services for individuals with disabilities in Maine. The grant funding enables the division to provide a range of services, including vocational assessments, career counseling, job training, placement assistance, workplace accommodations, assistive technologies, and independent living supports. These services are designed to help participants prepare for, secure, and maintain employment that aligns with their individual strengths, resources, and informed choices, with the goal of increasing personal and professional independence. The division may also sub-award portions of the grant to local workforce boards, non-profit organizations, and community partners to expand service delivery across the state.
