Learn about the SRC

Welcome

The State Rehabilitation Council (SRC) was established in 1992 to give advice to and work in partnership with Nebraska VR (Vocational Rehabilitation). Nebraska VR is a division of the Nebraska Department of Education. Nebraska VR's role is to provide services to help people with disabilities prepare for, obtain, and maintain employment while helping businesses recruit, train, and retain employees with disabilities.

The Council is made up of individuals from across the state who have an interest in working with Nebraska VR to ensure that the needs of Nebraskan's who experience a disability are being met in the most effective and efficient manner possible.

Council members review, analyze and advise Nebraska VR regarding the agency's performance. They also help develop, agree to and review the agency's goals and priorities. Their work often includes surveying agency staff, referral sources, VR consumers, and others.
