Missouri Residents
The Whole Person’s Employment Services program provides services primarily through Missouri Vocational Rehabilitation. Our goal is to help you find a position to match your abilities and interests.
Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) provides a broad range of services to help people with disabilities to enter or maintain employment. VR refers to service providers such as The Whole Person to provide individualized job placement assistance.
If you are not currently a client of VR, please contact one of the following offices:

If you are determined to be eligible for Vocational Rehabilitation, VR will provide a list of agencies to choose from.
To be eligible, the job seeker must have a disability and must be at least 16 years old.
