Heading to CSAVR? So Are We – Let’s Connect

Each spring, the CSAVR Spring Conference brings together leaders from state vocational rehabilitation agencies across the country to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the VR program. If you're heading to Washington, DC, March 28–April 3, StaffUp ASAP will be there too — and we'd love to connect.

StaffUp ASAP exists because VR agencies are facing a real and growing workforce challenge: rising caseloads, hard-to-fill positions, and the constant pressure to do more with limited capacity. CSAVR's mission — empowering individuals with disabilities to achieve employment, economic self-sufficiency, and full community inclusion — depends on a workforce equipped to deliver.

To help address this workforce challenge, StaffUp ASAP provides no cost, flexible, role-specific training for VR professionals and the partners who work alongside them. No travel required. No cost. Just high-quality learning designed to fit into the realities of a busy workday.

If you're attending the CSAVR Spring Conference, we'd love to meet you. We’re looking forward to connecting with VR leaders and partners to talk about workforce challenges, share what we’re learning through StaffUp ASAP, and hear what agencies are experiencing on the ground.

Look for us at CSAVR. And if you'd like to connect ahead of the conference, reach out to Beth Gaertner at gaertnere@uwstout.edu.
