Vocational Rehabilitation: Purpose & Mission
The purpose of the Vocational Rehabilitation Employment Program is to provide services to individuals with disabilities so they can become and remain employed. The goal is employment and in establishing this goal we have specified the objectives, activities and resources for the project and then for each individual client. The Turtle Mountain Vocational Rehabilitation Project’s mission is to provide vocational rehabilitation services to enrolled Turtle Mountain Indians with disabilities in order to prepare them for suitable employment. This will be accomplished by providing opportunity to the fairest extent possible, as allowed in the laws and regulations with adequate knowledge of an appropriate utilization of resources available, while recognizing our Chippewa culture. The project will guide clients in achieving greater independence and self esteem, to ultimately live a better life through gainful employment achieved through vocational rehabilitation services.
There are three service programs within the 121 Vocational Rehabilitation Project: (A) the Basic Employment Program: (B) the Supported Employment Program; (C) and referral to the Client Assistance Program (CAP).
