Research and Technical Assistance Center (RTAC) on Vocational Rehabilitation Program Management

The RTAC is a collaborative initiative to identify, test, and disseminate management practices in order to build a performance management model tailored to the Vocational Rehabilitation system.  The RTAC builds the capacity of public Vocational Rehabilitation programs to improve employment outcomes for people with disabilities.  Over the course of the project, RTAC will:

• Generate new knowledge of effective VR program management by identifying effective practices in the areas of Quality Assurance (QA), Human Resources (HR), and Strategic Planning (SP).

• Develop and pilot a new model of effective VR program management in partnership with 5-7 state VR agencies

• Disseminate the VR Program Management Model by developing exemplars, tools, and guidance other state VR agencies can use to implement the model within their unique contexts.

Project Partners include:

• Infouse

• Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations
