Students with disabilities are more likely to be employed after graduation if they have been employed before graduation. Nationally, there is a 70% employment rate for individuals with disabilities who were employed before graduation. This powerful statement made by Robert Pasternack, Assistant Secretary of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation, indicates the overwhelming importance of the work that is done by VACs (Vocational Adjustment Coordinators). VACs meet at Region 10 Education Service Center monthly to keep abreast of current employment trends, job coach and job development-training methods, and assessment tools.
