Over the past five years, TACQE has partnered with vocational rehabilitation (VR) professionals and community organizations to strengthen services that lead to meaningful employment for people with disabilities. Through practical tools, targeted training, and proven strategies, we’ve worked together to build capacity and improve outcomes.
Our focus has remained steady: support professionals, strengthen practices, and share what works. As the project winds down in September 2025, we’re taking time to recognize the progress we’ve made and, most importantly, the powerful impact of collaboration.
Below is a snapshot of our shared achievements. Each number represents more than just data—it reflects real connections, valuable learning, and lasting change.
