VCU RRTC

In Part 2 of Both Sides of VR, Dr. Phil Rumrill and Chris Claude examine how vocational rehabilitation (VR) has evolved amid artificial intelligence, changing labor demands, and systemic constraints. Dr. Rumrill stresses that person-centered service, consumer choice, and lived experience must remain at the heart of the VR process rather than being overshadowed by administrative compliance. Ultimately, the conversation advocates moving beyond simple job placement toward long-term career development by combining expert guidance with deep respect for consumer goals.
