PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Nebraska Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) requests proposals for up to $49,000 for the development and implementation of innovative short-term programs to provide at least one (1) of the PreEmployment Transition Services for students with disabilities during the summer of 2025. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) mandates VR agencies to set aside 15% of their budgets for Pre-Employment Transition Services. One (1) of several initiatives in the area of PreEmployment Transition Services includes this RFP.
Nebraska VR intends to contract with qualified applicants for a period up to four (4) months (4/1/25- 7/31/25) to develop and implement Pre-Employment Transition Services for eligible and potentially eligible students with disabilities, aged 14-21 years enrolled in school during the 2025-2026 school year. As a state-federal vocational rehabilitation program, Nebraska VR maintains a dual-customer approach, helping individuals with disabilities prepare for, obtain, and maintain competitive, integrated employment while helping businesses recruit, train and retain employees with disabilities.
Written Questions regarding the project are due no later than December 6, 2024.
