Over the past five years, TACQE has made outreach a central part of our work with vocational rehabilitation agencies, schools, employers, and communities. By testing strategies and developing practical tools, we’ve seen how outreach can expand access and strengthen pathways to quality employment for people with disabilities.
The project may be ending on September 30, 2025, but the outreach practices and partnerships we’ve built along the way will continue guiding the field for years to come.
