Training Application

We are currently accepting applications for the next round of StaffUp ASAP training. At this time, the training is open to Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies and VR staff.

We know that community providers and other workforce development professionals play a critical role in supporting employment for people with disabilities. Future training cohorts will be designed specifically for these audiences.

Additional training opportunities for community providers, workforce development organizations, and related professionals are expected to be available in 2027.
