State supported employment services

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded $150,000 to the Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation on October 1, 2025, under the Supported Employment Services for Individuals with the Most Significant Disabilities program (CFDA 84.187).

The award funds supported employment services for individuals with the most significant disabilities in Idaho, delivered through collaborative programs developed with public and private nonprofit organizations. The Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, a state government entity operating in Boise, serves as the prime recipient. The grant provides formula-based supplemental funding to the state vocational rehabilitation agency to assist VR consumers with the most significant disabilities in achieving supported employment outcomes.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation collaborates with sub-award partners, notably the Idaho Department of Labor, to enhance service delivery and expand talent pipelines for underrepresented populations seeking employment opportunities through apprenticeship programs and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
