Career Development
• What if your young adult wants a new job?• Work with the original VR Counselor – they might re-
open the case and fund job development.• VR will probably fund additional coaching if the student
gets new duties or a new job within the same organization.
• The student can advocate for themselves through HR at his/her place of employment.
