Virginia Dept. of Rehabilitative Services
According to national surveys, when employers of the Virginia Department of Rehabilitative Services were asked why they haven't hired people with disabilities, the number one response was that they would hire people with disabilities, but they don't know where to find them. One of the most valuable services that DRS has to offer businesses is in the area of staffing-finding knowledgeable, skilled and productive employees who also happen to have a disability.
