Overview
The public front door for employment help in Travis County, where job seekers with disabilities can apply for Vocational Rehabilitation services and training funds.
Workforce Solutions Capital Area is the local workforce board for Travis County, part of the statewide Texas Workforce System overseen by the Texas Workforce Commission. Its North Austin Workforce Center on the I-35 frontage road offers free job search help, career counseling, hiring events, and access to training funds.
Texas Workforce Solutions-Vocational Rehabilitation Services (TWS-VRS) staff are co-located in many Workforce Solutions offices. Vocational Rehabilitation helps eligible people with physical, mental, sensory, or cognitive disabilities prepare for, find, keep, or advance in competitive integrated employment. Depending on a person's plan, VR can pay for training such as the programs on this site, assistive technology, job coaching, and transportation.
For most Austin job seekers with disabilities, this is the best first stop: one visit can connect someone to VR counseling, to WIOA-funded training on the state's Eligible Training Providers List, and to employers recruiting through Workforce Solutions.
