Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Service - Burlington

Welcome to Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services - Burlington!

Located at 550 South Gear Avenue, West Burlington, Iowa, our local government office is dedicated to empowering Iowans with disabilities by helping them secure meaningful employment across the workforce. At Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services, we offer a comprehensive range of support for individuals with disabilities, assisting them in gaining, maintaining, and advancing in their careers.

Our services are accessible to all, whether you're a high school student, in a post-secondary program, or an adult seeking employment. We provide personalized vocational rehabilitation (VR) services that can be easily applied for online, via mail, or in person at our local office. We are committed to supporting Iowa employers by matching them with qualified VR candidates to meet their workforce needs effectively.

In Program Year 2022, a significant number of Iowans with disabilities found employment through our services, earning substantial estimated wages. We take pride in our high success rate, with a remarkable percentage of job candidates employed by the end of the 4th program quarter 2022. Additionally, we offer various programs that support Iowans with disabilities, including the Self-Employment program, benefits planning, and partnerships with the Statewide Independent Living Council and IL Network.

Our collaboration with the Disability Determination Services (DDS) helps Iowans receiving Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits with their disability determinations. Furthermore, our Disability Innovation Fund Grant aims to enhance employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities.

The State Rehabilitation Council plays a crucial role in guiding the success of VR programs and services in Iowa. Stay informed with the latest success stories, news articles, and announcements from VR Services. Recently, our Des Moines Area Office hosted a workshop for students in Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS), showcasing our commitment to preparing the younger generation for the workforce.

As we move into 2024, we are excited to explore the growing partnership between Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services and the Iowa Workforce Development’s Disability Engagement Division, aimed at helping employers understand the capabilities of Iowans with disabilities.
