Vocational
Rehabilitation
in a new locale
If you’re seeking employment assistance from
the Vocational Rehabilitation Program, please
note that the program is no longer in the old
clinic. The office is now in the main building of
the Tribal Center.
What is vocational rehabilitation?
The goal of the program is to provide services
to Native American/Alaskan Natives consistent
with their individual strength and abilities.
Our clients are provided with informed choices
while working to create self-confidence and
independence. Our ultimate goal is to prepare
individuals for sustainable employment.
