The project works to remove other independent living barriers to employment and to provide needed follow-up after job placement. The goal is for USOR to contract with two ILCs to provide assistive technology services in order to increase employment among VR participants throughout northern and eastern Utah. The AT Coordinators do assessments and make recommendations to VR Coordinators. The goal is to achieve excellent employment outcomes, consumer control, and cost efficiency. Through learning job-search skills such as interviewing, consumers are educated about their rights as job seekers and the civil rights provisions pertaining to the types of questions they may be asked in the course of job interviews.
Consumers also learn other job-search skills such as creating resumes and cover letters.
