The RPRJ EPIC project will support the transition of individuals with disabilities currently in subminimum wage employment to obtain competitive integrated employment (CIE) and will prevent youth with disabilities, particularly youth who are students currently in receipt of services through a Medicaid Waiver, from pursuing subminimum wage or nonintegrated employment.

Virginia Commonwealth University’s team are the subject matter experts for Supported Employment on this project and provide training and technical assistance in this area to support and expand 14c employer organizational capacity and VR staff ability to assist individuals with disabilities with their transition into competitive integrated employment.
