QE Success Stories: Expanding Employment for All

When TACQE visited American Samoa, the impact went beyond training VR staff. By engaging government leaders, private sector partners, and frontline counselors, the visit raised awareness of disability employment and renewed commitment to building a strong workforce.

Executive Director Adrian Vasai described the visit as transformative:

“You sparked interest, curiosity, and awareness… Effective solutions are found in collaboration and networking.”

Under the leadership of Governor Pulaali’i Nikolao Pula and Lt. Governor Pulumataala Ae Ae Jr., the territory is building momentum to strengthen skills and expand employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
